The White House

I don't remember much during the time we lived here. Here's what I do remember:
I remember dad sitting in his office downstairs. From what I remember the office was pretty small - it seemed to just have enough room for his desk and a bookshelf - and it seemed to be connected to the family room downstairs. When he was gone I would like to go look through his desk and play his harmonica's and play with his letter openers that looked like knifes.
I remember getting up early on Saturdays and watching cartoons down in the family room. We must have had a pull-out couch down there because I remember waking up and watching cartoons with Pat (and sometimes other friends or cousins) on the pull out couch. I also remember the wooden beds that dad made me and Pat. Down in our bedroom at the bottom of the stairs I have a memory of falling over in a wooden chair and getting hurt...
I also remember taking a shower with dad down in the laundry room, where the shower was in the middle of the room.
At the white house, we must have had a garden there too because I do remember working with Dad in the Garden picking corn and beans?
I remember mom taking us to Weinerschnitzel (mcd's must not have had a dollar menu back then :) ) But I loved going out to Weinerschnitzel!
The property in the back of the white house seemed immense to me and I have a slight memory about picking grapes off the vines with mom back there... and I believe she would make grape jam with them in the kitchen at the white house.
Like Pat, I remember the green phone too... and wasn't the kitchen yellow?
