June 21st 1982
Today is a lazy day for me so I thought I will
write. I should have washed but I didn’t
want to tire myself as we going to kill the rest of the roasters on Wed, there
be about 30 to do so it’s a big job. We
killed last Tues 30 and I was very tired the rest of the week. We would be doing them by lot fewer but on the count of water George has to bring
from home.
Dad went fishing with Donald yesterday but didn’t get
any.
The Ukrainian dancing group put on pyrogie supper
yesterday in hall to raise funds for dancing teacher and they made $700.00, it
was a big turn out as it cost only $2.50 and they could eat all they want, they
had salad and cakes.

Karen took a cake and
helped with serving.
Dad went to auction sale today but didn’t buy anything,
he went to get garden fence but he didn’t see any, I guess he wasn’t looking
hard. I wanted it to fence up the
goslings, I have 38 goslings already and three geese are setting but there will
not be many as there is not many eggs after Dad candled them.
Diana wants a purple color cushion, I would need purple
mauve and lilac or at least purple mauve and I have white but I can’t get here,
there was in one store mauve & lilac, it would have done but it was very
fine, I didn’t mind that, I could double it but it $3.25 a ball about 2 oz. so
I left it, if you could get in worsted wool I would pay for it. It would be 3 or 4 ply.
Diana hasn’t been down yet, they always go to the lake.
I have finished with the incubator, last hatch was chick hatch out 115 chicks,
George took them all, he said he will give few hens in fall.
George & Matt
Donald
is spraying yet, he been at a long time, I thought he was finished.
Lornie just came in and asked us to the
graduation. I will talk it over with
Dad, I think we should go but I don’t know how Dad feels, he always don’t want
to go to anything. Lornie is working on
cultivator, after school he comes as far
as his place by school bus.
Dad has cultivated the potatoes, he keeps it clean with
Matt’s cultivator.
I am going get my hair done on Thurs. Ukrainian Women’s Association from Oakburn
are taking all members for Chinese dinner on June 29 and they asked me to go
but if we go to Lornie’s grad I won’t be able as it’s the same evening.
Dad pulled out all the radishes as they are good and will
put in more seeds tomorrow. I will close
with best of luck, give my love to all.
I am now the proud owner of two more COOKBOOKS J.
I have already dipped into Cooking for Less: Ground
Beef and feel totally justified in my purchase. (This cookbook, if you’re interested, is
available online for the huge cost of $0.01.)
