ADA WOULD DO HER WASHING. SHE WOULD HAVE A LARGE TUB OF HOT BOILING WATER ON THE STOVE FULL OF LYE AND SOAP. ONE TIME WHILE TAKING IT OFF IT SLIPPED AND WENT DOWN HER LEG. OH! IT SCALDED REALLY BAD. OINTMENTS WERE PUT ON IT. IT CRUSTED AND THEN WENT BLACK.(Ill)

ADA MADE SOAP FOR OTHERS BECAUSE HERS WAS SO ADMIRED FOR THE CREAMY COLOR AND FINE TEXTURE. ADA ALWAYS TOOK PRIDE IN BEING THE FIRST ONE TO GET HER WASH HUNG ON THE CLOTHES LINE.(BIO)

IN 1936-1937 DAD(NEPHI) BOUGHT A REFRIGERATOR. MOTHER(ADA) WOULD MAKE ICE CREAM. SHE WOULD USE 'JUNKET' SHE'D GET FROM THE STORE. BEFORE THAT WE KEPT ICE OUT IN THE HUGE PILE OF SAWDUST.(111)

NEPHI WAS SUPPOSE TO GET THE FIREWOOD. ONE DAY ADA AND THE CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE SMALL WALKED ALONG THE FENCE LINES TO COLLECT WOOD. THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. WHEN NEPHI CAME IN AT NIGHT FOR DINNER THE TABLE WAS ALL SET. THERE ON HIS PLATE WAS A LARGE SERVING OF HATCHET. IT WAS ADA'S GENTLE QUIET REMINDER THAT FIREWOOD WAS NEEDED.(B10)
