As I mentioned before, Grandma and Grandpa Sanchez owned a house in Yucaipa, CA, either while, or in between the times, they lived in Newport Beach, CA. According to mom, their property had apricots and other produce. Grandpa would give her a substantial quantity and she said she would stop on the long drive back to Santa Ana, CA, by the side of the road and sell a portion of what she had been given. Dad was overseas still, and perhaps this was her way of supplementing the family income while he was gone.
One of my earliest memories was of being dropped off at the day care center on George AFB before dad was sent to Japan. But a memory after that was of arriving at this two-story house in rural California after dark. We climbed the stairs and went inside. I was put to sleep on the floor in the living room. There was a full moon outside, which shown through the blinds on the front door to the upstairs. That was the extent of what I recall of this house.
