Not much going on these days. It seems that work has run out for now and some of the men had to go out and look for jobs to keep themselves busy and make some money. The tone is almost a little depressing. At least Clem was not the only one in this position.
LEST WE FORGET

Weather very cold in Edmonton. I did nothing but walk around town all morning. I went over to Edmonton to look for a fellow to see if I could get work but there was nothing doing.

Weather fine and warm
I went to aslo [a show?] with A. E. P. Pelsen

ReplyDeleteGreat question and one that I've wondered about myself. I would imagine that there wasn't much at all 100 years ago for entertainment in Edmonton...not like today considering what Edmonton has become. Maybe he'll give us a clue in the upcoming days! He died when I was 2 years old, so I never had a chance to get to know him. It's one of the reasons I encourage the people who attend my classes to get out and interview the older generation....
ReplyDeletemy grandpa wrote those words. WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had done more of that myself when I had the chance!
