Thursday, July 9, 1936

plesant but Hot-
Clara washed & pressed two dresses etc. and packed her trunk to go to Montana tomorrow
I made cupcakes & iced them and picked the chicken-
Aunty has had a very hectic day-
fretted and worried all day-
Her little hen died left 8 little chicks motherless
Mother has been good all day
*Harry came & spent the evening-

Saturday, April 18, 1936

Snow on the ground this morning but melted off by noon-
Snowed some all day but melted as it fell.
Made tapioca custard and 32 cup cakes* and stewed apples-
Swept and dusted and mopped the kitchen-
and done all the chores as usual-
Mother has been fairly good today


Cupcakes by Heather Dolton


*Considering the amount of baking Irene did weekly, I think she would be proud of her pastry chef, great-granddaughter, Heather Dolton, who created the cupcakes in the picture above.
