"My sister, Nara, and her husband used to live in this house. Then my brother Eloy and his wife lived there. The house did not have a bathroom, but my husband and I bought some used bathroom fixtures in Dallas and brought them to my brother. When I was a young girl, the Gunnels family lived in this house. They had electricity. The light bulbs were perfectly round and white. One time when we visited them with my mother, my little sister, Charlsie, wanted me to get her "that egg" up on the ceiling."
