My grandparents on my mothers side both lived near the Mexico border, my grandma in El Centro California, and my grandpa in Mexi-Cali. My grandpa often went back and fourth between California and Mexico, that is how my grandparents met. They got married and my grandpa moved to California to be with my grandma. They started a family in 1962 and had four children.

My grandma, Lucy, used to live on a farm when she was little, but because of the great depression, they couldn't afford to live there. They moved into a unfinished house that had no doors or windows.
