Hi Khaleah,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you compared your childhood home of Alameda to Vacaville. I've lived in Vacaville since I was born and Alameda sounds like a much more interesting place to live in than Vacaville. The descriptions of seeing your family sound really soothing and I like how you described the setting of the places where you lived.
