Tuesday, April 1, 1913 vs Monday, April 1, 2013

Dora:
Washed and ironed some.
Cleaned a little yard.
Went to April Fool Surprise on Walter Goodacre.

Ray:
40-26 Fair
Drawed 6 loads of manure in am.
Rolled cornstalks in pm.
Dora & I went to Surprise Party in Walter Goodacre

Note: I am not sure what rolling cornstalks entails.  I'm not sure if he is talking about cornstalks that have been cut down or if he's rolling them down to the ground and then tilling them under. Anyone know?

Cayla:
Met with two people for estimates for some yard work in the am.
Kids were super cranky and in a post-Easter-candy-withdrawal.  They revived after naptime, which was much appreciated by all.
Worked on laundry all day.
After the kids went to bed I started making spinach pies for Ada's upcoming 2nd birthday party. Ran out of spinach so I switched over to maneesh.  Took me about three hours in all.

I really wish I knew what sort of "Surprise" was pulled on dear Walter Goodacre.  I'd like to know what sorts of things would be considered funny or surprising back then... ;-)
