Living Room: Coming in this room from school each day, the children first stopped by the black desk, which they had nicknamed "Mother." Their mother's nursing career kept her frequently away from home. She would write down chores for the children and leave their "to do" list on the desk. The family gathered in this room following the evening meal. Earl Carter prepared his Sunday school lesson and read the newspaper by oil lamp. When he got out of his favorite chair, the children were quick to check his chair for change that might have slipped out of his pockets. |
