Walter and I were on vacation (spring break?) in Daytona Beach, FL. We were with family and friends and were preparing to go out somewhere, probably to eat. We were all standing around on the beach, no doubt trying to decide where to go. Someone asked Walter about our moving and how it went, and he explained that he didn't have any underwear because they were all in storage somewhere. (!!) He explained that we had this trailer that came with a property we'd bought and we still had lots of stuff still packed up, sitting in the kitchen of this trailer. I remember seeing military guys playing on the beach a few feet away, wearing bdu shorts, and throwing each other into the water and rough-housing loudly.
Then Walter and I went to this trailer (which was supposedly in Florida, I suppose near Daytona) and we unlocked it and went in. We wondered who had lived there previously because there was still furniture and lots of belongings left in the place. It seemed to be a big trailer, it must've been a double-wide because it was very roomy. We wandered around in the kitchen for a little bit, then went into the master bedroom and looked around. In the master bath I looked in the medicine cabinet and found a plastic basket/pail that was full of little plastic stencils (the kind with little holes all in it where you traced the lines, then turned it around and traced the other half and it made a picture... anybody remember those from cereal boxes of yesteryear???). I got excited that there were so many of these little stencils, and I turned to Walter and said, "Can I keep these? OH, please?" He looked at me really strange and I told him, "I only have two of these, I have never seen any others, oh please?" He nodded absently so I grabbed the bucket and vowed to try them all out as soon as I could find a pen and paper.
Then we wandered down the hallway and I said, "Come on, let's look in the other bedrooms, we haven't seen them yet." There were three bedrooms, one on one side, and two on the other. I opened up the first door and there was an elderly woman asleep in the bed. I looked surprised at Walter, and I shut the door quietly. She didn't seem to wake up. Then I opened up the next bedroom door, and there was a large bed in the room and a weight bench at the foot of the bed. There was a towel across the weight bench and a few clothes scattered around, mostly athletic-kind of clothes. I noticed a couple of magazines laying around, one on the bed, and two laying near the bench. I picked one up to see what kind of magazine it was, and it was full of pictures of men in women's lingerie. I chuckled and turned to Walter and showed it to him, and he turned into my sister, who promptly wrinkled her nose and said, "Eewwwww!"
< >< >< > There was also something about a shed behind the trailer that was made for kids to play in as a fort, and there was a tv and vcr in it, and it was playing some sort of rape/abuse awareness video for kids.
