Cecile

Well, it reminded me of a fund where I was brought up and we had 10 children and we had three cats and we had 100 acres. So we had plenty of things to do. We didn't have no neighbors, so that's what there was, the ten of us. And the bond was always neat, like white, and it had a lot of milk and cows. We used to sell milk, we used to sell eggs, chicken, or beef, egg, and we picked strawberries, but it was during the 1930 the Depression so we sold to city farm and the city going. My father worked in the mill and he would bring eggs, mother, who used to make butter. We'd bring cream, milk, beef, or and chicken and I used to kill the chicken when I was nine years old. I started milking. I was five years old. Yeah, I am my own mother's too. My father made and I used to water pump water for their cows. We had a long log and he inside and made it sealed it. So the cows could drink out of it and we pumped it by hand on the well. So with the memory makes me feel hopeful. Yes. Yes. It makes me think that I did a lot. I did. Yes, you did you know, we ran out of water. One year, it was very dry, and he put barrels in the rack, and I built it with a horse and we went a mile and a half. It took me all day of my start. to fill those six barrels.
