  • Black-and-white photograph by Barbara Beirne. When I was little I lived right down thar in a two room house. We had five or six beds to a room, but it was the warmest house there ever was. My Daddy worked on the farm, and Mommy made our coats and dresses. She made our socks from the wool after they sheared the sheep. My Daddy had three or four guns. I was teached what to do.
