"A real nice cold day, some windy. Claudia washed, nice day to wash, she ironed most all. Every day we have the very same things to do, that's why we never get out of work. Get the meals, put what's left away, and never use the dishes without washing them. All the stock big and little 4 legged and 2 legged get 2 meals a day."
