We had a fireplace in our old farmhouse and when the wind would blow it would sound like someone was talking to you through the chimney. This person soon became my best friend Mrs. Hollister! My mom said that I would lay on the hearth and talk to her for hours on end. She was the best babysitter my mom ever had.
