Louise remembers:
We never had bikes so Thelma Hunter and Ellen would get Ina and I to ride their bikes to the top of the hill by the cemetery for them.
At the height of the asparagus season we would pick asparagus before we went to school and again when we got home.
During the summer we picked strawberries for 5 cents a box across the road (can’t remember whose farm) and raspberries at Patterson’s, also at 5cents a box.
Dad also had a cow which he kept in a small barn back by the woods. I don’t remember a pig. The day of Ina’s wedding the cow and Dad bumped heads somehow. Dad broke his nose. He got in front of a mirror and forced it back in shape. It was very swollen and red for the wedding.
Mother and Dad played euchre regularly on Saturday evenings with the Patterson’s next door while Foster Hewitt announced the hockey game in the background.
