Speaker 2: Those were the early shows. You've probably heard Beverly-Hillbillies. Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: But ye-- those were- they were only on Sunday, I think, at seven-o'clock so supper was earlier. So okay, let's go see grandma- and grandma and ah, watch T-V.

And ah, then the customers will say "Well which wi-- which wife is that?" (laughs) And I always say, "The one that he comes home for supper always."

Speaker: He was always called out because somebody was out of oil Christmas day. Well ha-- Interviewer: Really? Speaker: Yeah. Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Speaker: At ah- supper was at five-o’clock and they would call about three-o’clock (inc) come and they- so and so needs the- some oil. Well he have to go to Pembroke and pick up his truck and go and deliver.

Go Chad you-know it was always "Go!" And we'd always have supper waiting or we would eat ahead and make daddy's plate and ah then we would have dessert when he would come.

And the- the chipmunk will also go and you'll a row of radishes, and he'll just mow the radishes down. He'll just- just go and cut them all off. Those little seedlings that come up. I just heard um on ah the- cousin of mine came over yesterday suppertime, and ah his- his ah brother had his radishes had come up really nicely, he said they had just come up and the turkeys came, wild-turkeys came, and pulled them all out. Ate them.

Yeah, no I- I grew up ah- when I got home from school, even in grade-school, my place to go was directly to the shop, and there was something always there for me to do. So every day ah four-o'clock till maybe six, supper time, into the shop and doing whatever needed doing.

So yeah, there was a lot of that and then it was like feeding time, all these animals, they need to be fed, breakfast, lunch and supper and their stalls have to be cleaned. There's a lot of responsibility.

So anyway, away I went that afternoon, I come home about supper time, ah loaded right up and so I bought- the first thing I bought was a kitchen stove for two dollars.

So we work 'til early the morning 'til supper time, but that's how long it takes to do them all. There wasn't one horse who didn't plan out among the whole works. They all went good.

Now the first night was a great big supper for all the members of parliament and the dignitaries. You-know the long dresses and the tuxedoes and all.

All the time you're there, you and your men fed at dinnertime, fed at supper, slept at night, worked the next day, I've got cash, we'll leave right. Dave-Parson, he come out, "Keith!" "Yeah?" "I got to leave. I left you the same cheque on the table."

Interviewer: You went to town a lot? Speaker: Every year, until- Interviewer: But like in general, like- Speaker: We went out a lot? Interviewer: Like went into town a lot. Speaker: Ah not as a child, but once I'd hit high-school I'd kind of- I'd come home from high-school, eat supper, and then hurry back to town, and then I wouldn't come home till like ten-o'clock at night. And that was all- all high-school.

Interviewer: Yeah, definitely. What about the- the chicken dinner? Do you do the chicken dinner? Speaker: Yes. A-- as a matter of fact, garage sales I love and church suppers. As a matter of fact I have a whole list at home. Like these meals are absolutely incredible ah the price is going up from- they use to be ten dollars then they were twelve and now I see they're jumping up to thirteen and the odd one fifteen.

From the root-house. I would have to go and get the vegetables from the root-house and, ah, peel them for supper and, ah, you-know, different things-like-that. And my older sister, well she would be making c-- bread or cookies or-something-like-that.

Ah, really different than- than today. And, ah, it was a day- like, a whole day. You had to have- you had to feed the people by lunchtime and you had to feed them suppertime.

I think on Wednesdays and Fridays were May devotions, so we would come to school, walk home, have supper, do the chores and then walk back to church for the devotion and walk back home.
