Witkowski Pest Control

A family on the border in South Texas circa 1915. I see these old photos of people in hard circumstances --- the border, the Panhandle, East Texas ... it doesn't matter where ---- and I wonder if I would have been able to hack such a life. It may simply be a matter of what you're accustomed to and how you've grown up, but it sure seems like I'd have a hard time smiling in such harsh conditions. And yet these folks appear to be happy.
