The
October theme on City Daily Photo is "Shelter." I couldn't think of something original so I decided to go back to basics.

This is the house where I grew up. It was built after World War II as part of a housing boom that took place in the suburbs surrounding Washington, DC. My parents had moved to Northern Virginia after my dad started working for the Veteran's Administration.
The house was a sturdy cinderblock structure with metal-framed windows. Originally it had three bedrooms but my parents had a contractor add a fourth bedroom with bath and a family room.
We had a half-acre lot featuring tall oak trees and flowering dogwoods. This was home.
It looks like it was a good home.
