Dora:
Washed A.M. and got dinner.
Mended & sewed P.M.
Read in the eve.
Ray:
36 in am. 32 in pm. Weather Rain
Shelled seed corn.
Note: I'm pretty sure, based on upcoming journal entries, that Ray was shelling his seed corn upstairs in the house. He would have most likely used his hands to shell the corn-a rough task. His thumbs were probably red and aching when he was done. I can only assume he did it inside the house because it was warmer than in the barn. And shelling corn is a sit down kind of job, nothing about it gets the blood pumping. Still though, it's a messy job.
Cayla:
Went to church. Tarek & I napped while the kids napped. Tidied up and started laundry because we have a busy day tomorrow. All in all, a slow, quiet day.
I remember how large Grandpa's hands were. just huge....or huge to me at such a young age.
