Without today's conveniences a typical days work included the usual household work, feeding chickens, milking cows, etc. Daisy had quite a sense of humour. For example, what about the time, Elmer, after "celebrating" on Christmas Eve came home, very carefully folded up his trousers and stowed them in a dresser drawer without saying a word, Daisy watched this unusual procedure. The next morning, to Elmer's dismay, Elmer could not find his pants! For once, she had him by the short hair!
