Then she would start a fire in the Hogan and share a story with her grandchildren. Her favorite stories were of herself while she was growing up. Grandmother’s black skirt swayed back and forth, back an d forth, as she told stories around the cozy fire in the Hogan. She shared her knowledge, wisdom, and love when she wore her beautiful black skirt."
