Dora:
Cleaned and swept nearly all day. up stairs and down.
Ray went over to West Park and fetched Laura over after church.
Ray:
26 degrees am. 36 degrees pm. Weather is Fair.
at home in am
Tested milk & cream
Pa & I went to town in pm Went over to West Park Laura came home with me.
Note: More mentioning of Laura. If you'll notice, he and his father went to West Park, but his wording is, "Laura came home with ME" not "Laura came home with US". Perhaps I extrapolate too much, but it would seem that Ray was interested in Laura...
Not quite sure what he means when he says he tested milk and cream. I know they sold their cream to a creamery, so perhaps it was some quality control testing? Mom? Aunt Jan? Anyone know?
Cayla:
Worked out at the neuro office today. Not a terribly busy day. I am coming down with Maurice's cold, unfortunately. Came home and Tarek had fed the kids. It was Bath Night. I intend on retiring early.
What did you do today?
Phyllis thinks you are right about the testing of the milk & cream as they sold cream & milk to the Constantine Creamery in my days on the farm. Also had to keep the cans of milk & cream cold-no problem in this weather but I remember the cans setting in cold water in the hotter weather.
ReplyDeleteThe Constantine Creamery is still there. I hauled milk and cream out of there several times within the past few years. And yes, there is all sorts of testing that goes on but I'm surprised it was done way back then. However I'm sure is wasn't done to the level its done at today.
ReplyDeleteThe mention of this mysterious "Laura" is interesting. Had it worked out between them, the Schneider family would be a whole lot different!
