                CHAPTER-1:1:4 (NEW IMMIGRANTS)-DAY-4         




    Eli and Ami Jankowsky were getting up just as the sun began to rise at 5AM and were busy getting themselves ready to face the new day with their plans to finally go for jobs at the local grocery store near their house.They were both planning to still harvest produce before applying for their new part-time jobs.
    Eli and Ami both still remembered how it used to be before they immigrated to North America and arrived in Gibsons in 1865 after spending the winter back East.They'd spent the winter in Montreal and waited for spring to travel out west to the coast to head up the coast.
    Eli and Ami both wanted to get social with each other and spent some time doing that just before going to work in the gardens.They had also spent a few hours playing chess together before starting the work in the garden areas out behind Garden House.
    They were both grateful that they were able to visit Garden House in the daytime and could go home at night when they had to get to bed.They could still remember how they'd had to squat in public buildings or live outdoors without any shelter to protect them.The old life they had in the old country got reduced to memories.
    Eli and Ami both took a break from their visit to Garden House to head over to the grocery store to apply for the part-time jobs and got the jobs.They both felt like celebrating after getting the jobs and ended up deciding to go back to Garden House for some fun with the chess table after they finished with the grocery store.
    This was unlike back in the old country where they'd be forced to take full time work and would be unable to work on skills to advance to a higher level on their jobs.The store gave them 500$ in cash for their harvested produce when they decided to sell it there.
   Eli and Ami both had fun laying chess when they sat down to play together for a few hours after finishing up with the store.They both remembered this being something they wouldn't be able to do until after immigrating to North America and settling out west.
    They were both having fun and gaining logic skill from the chess table and were planning to gain more gardening skill from reading about it.They could also watch the gardening channel on T.V. at Garden House or on their own once they could afford to buy one for their own house and had a place to put it and use it.
    They both left Garden House at 8PM and started on their way home so they could get to bed after eating dinner.They got to bed by 9PM and were asleep in their sleeping bags.
