Dora:
"Ironed, baked pumpkin pies. Called at Poeths and telephoned. Went over to Shelly's at night. Florence came home with us at 12 P.M."
Ray:
32 degrees in the morning. 42 degrees in the evening. Weather is Cloudy.
"Drawed 6 loads of manure in am. Drawed 2 loads of rails. Dora & I went over to Shelly's. Florence came home with us."
**There is an address in the back of Dora's 1913 journal for a woman named Florence Erffmeyer. The address is: No. 15 Nichome, Yojodori, Chikko, Osaka, Japan. I suspect that Florence was a missionary to Japan who was raising support and spent some time with the Schneiders.
Cayla:
4 degrees in the morning. 11degrees in the evening.
Went to work today. Initiated two new patients on CPAP for sleep apnea. Had a high no-show rate today. People must not have wanted to brave the cold. Came home. Ada was refusing to nap. As soon as I put her down, Maurice started rattling his door knob. Come to find out, he'd peed through his pull up and had to have his entire outfit changed. Played with him while Ada napped. We ate leftovers for dinner. Still trying to catch up from going to bed late two night in a row.
I find it so interesting that my Aunt Dora makes note of telephoning someone. I absolutely hate my cell phone and will text if at all possible. I've completely come full circle. I'm sure Ray and Dora found the telephone to be an exciting technological advancement. I'm more inclined to let the battery die or 'forget' my phone in the car...
And 6 loads of manure? That's a lot of work!
