jobless

expecting
We moved into two rooms that Daphne did not use. But it seemed like Frank could not find a job, so he left and went to Spence where Papa and Mother lived. Somehow they got the money to send for me. So there we were, Milton, Doris, Frank and I, Mother and Dad and kid all living in a four-room house. The rest of the winter, I keep busy making quilts. I was going to have a baby.

hay scare
One-day papa asked Frank to go down the river and pick up a load of hay for the stock, so I went along with him. He loaded the hayrack with hay. We started back, it was cold, and the wind was blowing snow. We set in the middle of the load when it started sliding off the wagon, I just set there and slid off with the hay and never hurt me a bit, but it scared Frank half out of his wits, he was afraid I was buried under the hay. Frank get all excited after he gets the horse stopped. He started yelling “where are you Kate, where are you.’ I was just setting there in the haystack laughing that was the funniest feeling. Finally he gets up and he had to reload the hay. We went back to Spence.
