Townhouse
on Autumn Ridge Circle with me leaving for work
When I first moved to Reston, Julie and Anne stayed back in Melbourne Florida so Anne could finish high school so I rented a room from a guy named Willie for about nine months. It was a townhouse just a few blocks from Autumn Ridge Circle. I didn’t have a car when I was there for I sold old Chevy van before leaving Melbourne as I didn’t think it would make it to Virginia. I took the bus to and from work each day. Julie came up the fall of 1990 and we found the townhouse on Autumn Ridge Circle and put a deposit down on it. I remember it being really cold and walking from the place I rented a room over to the home on Autumn Ridge to meet the gas man to turn the gas on. It was like freezing cold and I sat there in the cold house for a couple hours waiting for him. I was so glad when he showed up and turned the gas on so I could get warm Julie and Anne moved up with all our furniture a week or two later. It was a nice townhouse being just a couple of years old but toward the end of our lease Julie had been looking around Reston and found a townhouse on Lake Audubon in Reston which then we moved to.
