It is 11 a.m. on a Sunday in August 1949. A blucidane comes to a stop in front of a ranch house 30 miles in the town of Salt Flats, Texas. Come on kids, this grandma's house.

Shh. Let me sleep. We started so early. They're tired. Well, we can't leave them in the car. If we wake them up now, they'll never finish their naps. We'll bring them in in a few minutes.

Okay. Getting up at 4am was kind early. Even for them. Hey, look! Pause to the windmill. Oh, Bill, I love this place. I wish we didn't live so far away. Yeah. We don't get here often enough.

Hey, wonder where the folks are. They usually stand in the middle of the road waiting for us when they know we're bringing the kids for a visit. The door's open. Your mother's probably in the kitchen cooking enough food for a dozen.

Yeah. Don't smell anything cooking. You're home? Maybe they're still a church bell. No, they're always back by 10 o'clock. The garage door was closed too. Paul always leaves it open when he's got the car out.
