CANAL STREET, DEEPWATER, NEW JERSEY (1)

   Edie's mother suggested they have lunch before they got to the house in Jersey. She knew a good hogie shop so they went there. Susan had never had a hogie. She didn't like all the onions. She would have liked a hamburger instead. Yeah, and some fries. Mama got her some fries when she asked for some. Thank you, mom.
   They came to a river and drove onto a ferry. After they got started, Susan was allowed to get out of the car. She liked this. Big white birds flew all over high in the sky. They were so beautiful against the blue sky. Being outside felt so good to Susan after a month in that "room." The air smelled so good and even felt good. She enjoyed every minute. 
   They were on the other side already and ready to get off. They had traveled about two hours and crossed a little bridge over a canal that went down a street called Canal Street, in the town of Deepwater, New Jersey. At the very end of the street was a house over on the left side of the railroad tracks. We stopped in front. The house was a duplex and needed painting.  It was cold, dark and came with a rat running across the room. Regardless of it being a room, Edie wanted to go back to the hotel.
