I moved away from the town of Newburgh back in December of 2023. I had made about six or so extra good friends there since moving there from Walden , New York. The trailer I was living in was made in 1971. It had gotten into a poor condition with the including of mold in the upper areas of walls of it near it,s center and middle at the spot of the bathroom. I was a worker from 1975 to 2007. Then though I became disabled in 2007. So a few lousy problems were coming to a head. I left to start living in a new location after living there in Walden from 1991 or 1992 til 2018. To me being in Newburgh was mostly new because I was living in a place others lived in also too. I in the trailer was there by myself a my cat and a dog. Culture shock , one of my own devised in my mind I see it as. So in a surprising sort of way I had to leave to go from Walden and how I,d known things for a real long time to moving once more again because the landlord chose to place the home I rented one room in of it , up for sale. So my nice friend lives about eight houses down the st. He is 96 years old. I looked up the last name because I forgot it earlier. Then on a rainy day two and a half weeks ago I wrote a hand written 2 pg letter. I stamped an envelope and addresses it. Into the mailbox it went. Off to him it I thought for sure it was sent. Three days ago I saw the letter part of it in my scraps of lists , notes and scrap paper. So I wrote an all new one just putting the Hi to you Lou , & his son Lance and have a good healthy restful and happy Summer. My phone number too so they,d phone me back in the time they decided. Letters .
