Diary of Women in the 1850s (Afternoon)

Linda's Diary

Friday, April 10th

Since I didn't have enough time earlier to finish my last diary entry I think I have a little time before dinner to write. Well, after I broke up the fight between Jeremiah and Mary-Anne, I've soon realized that is was time to pick up David from school. We were lucky to live pretty near the school, compare to others, but it is still a 3 mile walk just to the school. When we were home, I immediately fix everyone a quick snack and asked David how his day was.  He said It was okay, but he recieved quite a bit of homework. So after he finished his snack of some fruits, I told him to wash up, and get started on his homework. I went to do some dishes and head on to all my other every day chores with Jeremiah and Mary-Anne, since they had nothing better to do. With having six hands, work was done early, all the fruits and vegetable was gathered for dinner, the cows were milked, and David even finished his homework and went down to the well to get some water. So I decided to sew a scarf for my husband, Frank so it would be a pleasant suprise for him. It's time for dinner.
