Dora:
"Ironed. Cleaned the cream seperator. Mopped kitchen. Made apple pudding. Prayer meeting was at James Holmes' at night."
Note: See what a cream separator looks like here. Granted it's a photo from a Swedish museum, but you get the drift. This also makes me wonder why she doesn't mention cleaning the separator on a more regular basis. I know they milked daily and would let the cream sit for a few days before they'd churn it for butter. But I'm pretty sure they separated the milk daily. Did they just rinse the separator out after use and only clean it sporadically?
One can only assume that apples in January were either canned or in cold storage. Would love to know what Dora's apple pudding tasted like!
Ray:
20 in the am. 24 in the pm. Weather is Fair.
"At home in am. Took a cutter ride in pm to Were, Hallams, Pollers & Tarter [handwriting very poor, these appear to be surnames]."
I guess Ray didn't go to prayer meeting at the Holmes'. Unless "Hallams" is really "Holmes".
Cayla:
Still painting at our house and the painting moved downstairs. Maurice had his first day back in pre-school. The kids watched an obscene amount of TV today in order to keep them out of the paint. That is, until I remembered the kids got bikes/tricycles for Christmas and we went out to the garage and had some fun.
