year. The fourth wall of the sukkah
was the house itself so that Grandma
could open the window of her kitchen
and pass the plates right through
into the sukkah.
A polished wood staircase led
upstairs. I can still remember my
brave cousin Marilyn sliding down
the smooth banister, the only one of
us who ever had the guts to do it. She
never got caught or spanked al-
though we all lied to protect her when
she hit her head on the metal orna-
ment at the bottom.
There were three high-ceilinged
rooms with polished mahogany
doors on the second floor. The first
was a room with twin beds where my
brother and I often slept. On Friday
nights, someone would bring a can-
dle for us and put it on the dresser

than go downstairs in the darkness
to the bathroom.
The second bedroom was Grand-
ma and Grandpa's room with twin
beds and Grandpa's porcelain
chamber pot.
The last room was the parlor, my
favorite room in the house. It was
about two-thirds the size of the entire
floor. Rust damask drapes hung from
the highest ceiling I had ever seen
Between the front windows was a mir-
ror that ran from floor to ceiling with
a small ledge at the bottom where a
child could sit. There were a sofa,
several beds, easy chairs, another
