More History

The next time I got to frequent this village was whenever I visit my Mom's sister & her family who lives along Nepomuceno street (They still do live there until now). They had a small store then. Then eventually they moved to a bigger house just next door after they sold their first house.

On one occasion, my sisters, my cousins & I strolled around the streets of the village. First stop was the playground that used to be at the park fronting the corner of Nepomuceno & Briones. There used to slides, swings and see-saws.

Then we would talk about the house that seemed to froze in time. I never saw anybody go in and out of the house but at times, seemed to have a light glowing inside, presumably from an occupant. It had, for the longest time (and until now), 2 cars, a volkwagen and a minica, parked in the garage. I wonder if the interiors of the house still had the 70s furniture.
We would walk past the church which back then was unpainted and stood bare without grills. There was no covered court back then. And the lots around the School of the Holy Spirit then were full of tall grasses.

Round and round these places we would walk everytime we had the chance. The village of BF Homes was just like the whole park for us kids back then.
