The Yellow Room

This was one of the rooms we stayed in during our five and half month stay at the Knoxville, TN Ronald McDonald House. Our first room was dark and dreary...and way too small for five of us. When the kids came to stay, we asked for a larger room. It was tight but we learned to survive! There was a roll-away-bed in the hallway and the kids would take turns sleeping on it.

I put all of our school books up on the window sill and we would do schoolwork on the beds. I tried to keep things tidied up but it was hard...it was hard to do much of anything since I was sick with fear. Those were dark days....
