Cloudy. Wendi's here. I went up to Curt's and picked razzberries early. Came in and cooked dinner and canned berries. Hargus was here a while, allso Reba. Wendi & I went for milk. Picked beans late for Ruth, Mrs. Orr, Aunt Rosalee and us.
Footnote by Pat: Wendi is her granddaughter. Curt is her brother-in-law. Hargus and Reba are the brother and sister of her husband. They all live nearby. Ruth Reasor is her sister-in-law, married to her youngest brother and she lives nearby. Mrs. Orr is a neighbor. Aunt Rosalee is a relative, married to Uncle Millard Baker (her Mother's half-brother). She surely had a big bean patch in order to pick beans for all the neighbors. I don't even have time to buy the beans that someone else picked, nor cook them for my family and neighbors.
This is Wendi.
ReplyDeleteActually we went to the neighbors houses to pick their beans for them. Lizzie, Uncle Jennings, Aunt Ruth....also hoed their potatoes,picked (and shucked) their corn, did a little weeding, fed some livestock from time to time. It filled the space in between funerals.
