Sometimes the jobs I do or
attempt to do in one day amazes,
even me. The day may start with
cooking, chauffeuring and
general housework.
Then, a fowl may need to be
dressed. I’m told a lot of women
wouldn’t do this type of food
preparation nowadays.
In the afternoon, I put on
overalls and help smooth con
crete which was poured for an
addition to the barn. The truck
driver said that only on farms do
you see women outside working
with their men.
Later in the afternoon, after a
change of clothes, I was checking
file cards in our church office
After supper, there was an
executive meeting of the Home
and School Association of our
Elementary School where I am
secretary
I’m sure other farm women’s
days are just as varied or more
so No wonder we think we can
give advice on many subjects. We
really do need to have an answer
to many problems and situations
which arise in our families and oh
our farms.
With Christmas coming, the
children make shopping lists and
check with each other so there
won’t be duplication of gifts.
During a recent shopping trip,
we prevailed upon the men in the
family to go along and see Park
City. Of course, we females had
scouted the area thoroughly on
previous occasions.
There were two things which
I’m sure impressed them.
Number one was the size of the
shopping center and number two
was the price of the attractively
displayed merchandise A few
dollars just won’t cover
Christmas shopping anymore.

My daughter is planning to
make quite a few gifts this year.
But I better not say anymore or
some folks won’t be surprised.
Usually I share jams, jellies
and flower bulbs with friends and.
relatives.
And you can always count on us
to pack a wide variety of cookies
in boxes for friends and neigh
bors.
Maybe, I had better get started
on those cookies right now.
