August 6, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


August 6, 1963
Tuesday, nice day.  I did a big wash in am, then Wayne, the girls and I went to Prattsville after the beef.  Worked at that some in pm.  Earl and Lillian over for supper.
Comment:  Brought the butchered cow home probably in large pieces.  It was probably in pieces like this picture when they picked it up and all these pieces must be cut into servable portions and made ready for freezing.  Big job, probably with some cut fingers.  The butcher knives were like razors and it very easy to cut yourself with them.  They probably also had quite a lot ground into hamburger from some of the smaller parts in this picture.

No comments:

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
