The numbers on the mail box where 713, but no street name. It was a foggy day so visibility was low. I walk up the steep hill to get to the walkway leading to the front door.

I rung the doorbell. Nobody answered. It looks like someone lives here because there's fancy cars on the lawn, and a well kept pool. I rang it again and I finally got an answer. The person who arrived to the door was a woman. She was tall and looked like she was a model wearing fancy clothes and makeup. Maybe they where going somewhere. I looked like I just got out of a swimming pool and was homeless.

She asked what are you doing here. I explained what happened and she invited me in. I walked in the house to see this beautiful palace like room. Wow. They offered to clean me up and stay a few nights. I couldn't resist so I said yes. I meet the rest of the family who live here. The mother, father, 6 boys and 1 baby girl.

They tough me around the 30 roomed house and I got the layout. I got a room, and I had my own bathroom. They said I could stay for as long as I wanted. So I tried to be on my best behavior. After all instructions where said the left. I went to my room and the bathroom connecting it. I went to take a shower and changed into new clean clothes. I brushed out my hair and did a little make up. Then I walked to see what was going on and try to become a friend to the 6 kids in the house.
