Title A mother's work.
 
Description Interviewer: What would your average, your mother's average day be now?

Sister Mary Angela: Well now, first of all, she got up in the morning; she milked maybe, this was in the early life when we were growing up and she’d milk maybe about three or four cows. She’d get our breakfast, and then she went off to mass. She never missed morning mass. And she walked to mass, hail, rain or snow. And if there was rain or that, she put another coat over her head. That’s how she went to mass. And it was a good half to three quarters of an hour walk. She went to mass, she came home, and then got us ready to go out to school.
