like berries
waiting to be plucked.

:00:07
That's the way
l thought of them sometimes.

:00:10
Like berries?
:00:13
Like l was putting them
into my big basket,

:00:17
clearing the hillside
of its children.

:00:21
Anyway, my next stop was
across from the Bide-A-While,

:00:25
which is owned and operated
by Risa and Wendell Walker.

:00:30
Risa had walked
her son Sean across the road,

:00:33
which was customary.
:00:36
Sean, he has some kind of
learning disability.

:00:38
Well, he's behind the rest
of the kids his age in school,

:00:42
and he's too nervous
to play sports.

:00:49
Strange little guy.
:00:51
But you couldn't help
but like him.

:00:58
Morning, Dolores.
:00:59
Hi, Risa.
Aren't your feet freezing?

:01:03
l guess they are.
:01:05
l want to stay with you.
:01:07
Sean...go on, honey. Go on.
:01:10
Come on, Sean, sit next to me.
:01:18
-ls he OK?
-l don't know.

:01:21
-Temperature?
-No, he's not sick or anything.

:01:25
Just one of those mornings,
l guess. You know?

:01:32
Well, l never had
those mornings, myself.

:01:36
Not so long as l had
my school bus to drive...

:01:41
not so long
as l had my...kids.
