Goldfoot
Farm
Sat., July 25, 1925
Today
we have been exceptionally busy. It is now 9 P.M. and the
folks are still in the fields, haying with a lantern. It
will be all hours before the dishes are washed. A few of
today's accomplishments will be: three meals prepared and
three sets of dishes washed, a pudding, two pies and a cake
with icing made for the weekend, nine milk pails and separator
washed in the morning and again at night, windows and lamp
chimneys cleaned, lamps and oilstove filled, range blackened,
floor swept twice and mopped thoroughly, rugs and porch
swept, and my knickers mended.
When we first came we got terribly tired, but now we are
feeling fine and really enjoying it. After supper Bill goes
up to our room (Mrs. G. calls it "the office")
and studies his big books, four Moody's Manuals, while I
write, and Mr. And Mrs. G. listen to our radio, Bill having
rigged it up for them. Robert reads a while, then goes to
bed.
The Goldfoots took us to a church social last night, where
the people seemed a hard?shelled bunch. But Robbie had a
wonderful time, eating four plates of ice cream without
batting an eye. Being very timid, he is afraid to do anything
but eat. When asked if he wants to drive the hayrake or
do something mildly adventurous, his one reply is, "I
daresn't take a chancet." However, he seemed to enjoy
his ride in the motorcycle last night, though holding on
tight all the way.
