Heather: How did you do all the laundry, especially when the well water was low in the summer months?

Audrey: There was a laundry man that picked up the laundry from the porch. Then he would bring the laundry back all clean. Can you believe there was a time when Mrs. St. Onge washed the clothes for me? She was such a lovely person and to have her take our clothes to clean! Can you believe that?

Heather: How did you feel about Dad being so quiet?

Audrey: He always enjoyed a joke and laughed a little, but he was very quiet. He was a quiet man and I was talkative. When I was first married, he never said a word and I gabbed all the time. He would sit in his chair and fall asleep. I’d go to bed and let him stay there. He was so tired from his work.

He liked Gladys and Catherine. Ruth was working then and we didn’t see her so much, but she was very nice and Dad thought the world of her also. Ruth is a great studier.
