Speaker: But mostly, she would sit there and watch us go in for a swim. Interviewer: Mm-hm. Speaker: And ah she would have lunch for lunch and lunch for supper. Interviewer: Mm-hm (laughs).

Speaker: I used to come- on a hot summer like we had now, I would leave work at three-thirty, Shelly would have supper ready and-everything. I would grab everybody here and we would head straight out to Crystal-Beach. Interviewer: Oh yeah? Speaker: Oh man Crystal-Beach was the place. Interviewer: Yeah? Speaker: (Laughs) We'd have our supper there and we'd stay there 'til the flies got too bad-

... the car driver that brought the hunters up had slept most of the day because he'd been driving all night. So he'd stayed at the house, so I gave him supper and I said, "Come on I'll take you on a tour of the town."

And ah they were working at the mine and ah after supper, when ah on the thirteenth of December, yeah, I ah I- I'd been in labour all day, but it wasn't anything. It was only bad- bad enough that I couldn't do the dishes or I couldn't do the washing or I could tidy the house.

Jeremy was quite an accordion player and-everything-like-that. But in those days, the hotels had to close from six to eight. And they- you-know, they had to close and so everybody came home for hot supper at six so supper was at six for must people.

Speaker: And out there they call lunch dinner, and then supper supper. Interviewer: Oh. Speaker: Yeah. Interviewer: Okay. Speaker: So they don't have lunch. They have dinner. Interviewer: Oh. So it goes breakfast, dinner- Speaker: Yeah. Interviewer: Supper. Speaker: Yeah. Interviewer: And what do you call them here? Speaker: I call them lunch and supper.

Interviewer: So you don't use dinner at all? Speaker: Well I use dinner sometimes. But it's dinner or supper. Like dinner and supper's the same thing. Interviewer: It's totally the same to you, or would you- is there a time when you would use one and not the other? Speaker: I-think dinner for more, like, formal dinner and then supper's just every day. Interviewer: Like going out for dinner? Speaker: Yeah. ... Yeah, I say "Going out for dinner." Interviewer: Oh, okay. ... And then supper's just every day. Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Um, I was looking for a job this sum-- because I worked at the hospital doing, um, supper trays, like you get the trays ready for the patients and then you deliver them and clean them. Interviewer: Oh nice. Speaker: Yeah, so- Interviewer: Trays for what? Speaker: Oh, supper. Interviewer: Oh, oh! Sorry, oh. Speaker: Yeah, so- for the patients in the hospital- Interviewer: Yeah.

Interviewer: Tell Jingwei to do it and she'll- Speaker: Go for supper at ah- Interviewer: What time do you go for supper? Speaker: At five. Interviewer: Uh-huh, so it's four-thirty now. Speaker: Yeah. Interviewer 4: So we should probably let you go to supper very soon. But we can come back again and talk to you?

Yes, Martha-Straighten. She's ah five-six-seven, four-three-nine-seven. She'd be going to supper now. Interviewer: Right. Well can give her a call. And you can mention we were- Speaker: I'm looking to see if you're wearing a wedding ring.

... we had so much fun there, we were bordered on ah Long-Lake, which is a beautiful lake and the public beach was you-know, within you-know a two minute walk from my grandmother's farm, so we would finish a day of haying and we would go swimming until supper. But some of the funny stories would be, you could never put your rubber boots in the morning without dumping them out first and making sure that- ... Well you would have, you-know, a dead mouse, you would have a snake, you might have a bat ...

... after my gruncle died, I ah- she fell into this depression. I would get off the school-bus everyday and go to her house and make her get up and make her eat her- eat supper, and sit with her and talk with her and keep, you-know, just keep motivating her to keep on- she only lived like three doors up from us. But everyday I saw her until I went away to university. So, um she was a big part of my life.

On the weekends, we hardly ever have- well, we always have someone eating supper with us, that's not part of the family.

My- my mom sometimes makes suppers, just quick for the family at night but my dad- that's his goal for the weekend. He gets up in the morning, looks at his cookbook, and picks out a recipe for the day (laughs).

Speaker: We had our bus. If we weren't without our supper and we went until twelve- Interviewer: (inc) you couldn't phone home because there was no phone at phone (laughs).

Ah, they would have ah some sort of a thing outside where you're- competition or-something and run past four-o'clock. We'd say, "Oh can we go?" "You're deserting your team." "We got to go. We'll have no supper. We'll just get home and (laughs), we won't have our homework done or anything." (laughs) Ah- you-know?

Yeah. You didn't go home. Forget about it. Forget about supper (laughs).

We'd had to be outside. That was the rule. And we didn't come home until we were called home for supper. And we that once we heard my mom yell all of our names to- ... Get home for supper, we better damn well get home for supper. ... Or we weren't eating.

Speaker: (Laughs) I went ah, partied a little too hard and I missed we-- supper one night. Interviewer: Missed supper? That is- is that- (laughs) is that it? Speaker: (Laughs) Yeah, I was ah, partying a little hard there and- I started at ten-o'clock 'cause the bar opens at ten there.

Speaker: It's a card game. Interviewer: Yeah? Speaker: And um first day we were at- um like we got there in time for supper so we went to Jack-Astors. And it was a table of girls with a guy waiter. Interviewer: Okay. Speaker: And we asked him if we could take a picture with him (laughs). Interviewer 2: (Laughs). Speaker: So we did.
