They even had her little house. She had such a hard life, but still was able to find joy.

guy came to their house to look at antiques I told him how I used to colour in the oxen's legs with a pencil. He blanched. I thought he was going to faint. Turns out you can completely erase lead pencil from house paint with a simple eraser. I was about 5 when I did it. Poor guy.
