Exerpt from "Crazy Jane"
Back when all the roads were
dirt.
Back when we lived on Sharon Hill.
Back before we owned a car.
Momma and Poppa had...
6 Cows
2 plow horses
3 pigs
47 chickens
3 dogs
3 cats
2 children - Liam and me, Vivian;
and
A new driving mare Poppa bought to pull our wagon.
"What's her name?" Momma asked
Poppa.
"Jane," said Poppa.
"Jane. that's a nice name," said Momma.
