Canal Street, Deepwater, NJ (12)

   Susan had to carry water from the building down the street where her nana got it. It was kind of far for a little girl to carry four buckets a day, so the lady across the street said that she could get water from her house. She would carry one if Susan would carry one in the morning then each would carry one each in the evening. That was fine with Susan. That woman turned out to be like another mother to Edie and grandmother to Susan. She looked out for the two of them and made sure they had everything. Mrs. Frient had the largest TV screen in the neighborhood. (There were only four TV's in about two dozen homes. Her TV was a twelve inch screen floor model. Edie and Susan would go over Sunday evenings to watch Ed Sullivan.) This was the highlight of the week. Edie had a radio and she and Susan would lie in bed and listen to "Fibber McGee and Molly" and "Baby Snooks" and Firestone Theater and any opera program. Edie loved opera and she taught Susan what she knew and Susan also loved opera.
