Their home was a lively, happy home; entertainment of family and friends was of the up most importance to them. They were both extremely hard workers, Molly often worked liked a man on the farm, ploughing the paddocks before returning home to produce a hearty meal for her family and visitors. Their home was always full of fine talk, hearty laughter, lively music and a few ales. Their way was the Irish way.
