If I can offer some unsolicited advice, don't labor too much over your opening sentence. Get into the story, and when you go back for your first rewrite, you'll have a better idea of the hook you want to use.
This can also be particularly effective if you find you've written a really powerful ending, and can revisit the opening line with it.
Not saying you're using that device... but don't fret so hard about the details on the first write-through: you will come back over it all another could of times, changing things so they read better.
Maybe inspiration will strike you
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
