It is interesting but one of the things that sticks out most in my mind was the way dad's keys jingled on the side of his hip. There were many times that we would have to run to stop one of those blasted cows from taking off in a direction it wasn't suppose to go and as we would run to turn them dad's keys would be flipping up and down making a terrible noise. The keys were all of the keys that went to the different school buildings and how he ever knew which one went where I don't know but they were all used quite often. The other things that really sticks out in my mind also was the "Time to get up!" at 6 am and then "get up" as he would start to clinker the furnace right outside of the door a few minutes later. We would always get to sleep a little after the first call and it was kinda like hitting the snooze button. I still wake up better if I hit the snooze button a couple of times.
For Mom it was the scrubbing the floor at midnight on saturday night. It never made a whole lot of sense because she wouldn't clean on sunday but it was usually sunday morning by the time we got the floor scrubbed on saturday night. No matter how soon we started we never got done before 12;30 AM or so. That went right along side of the clothes washing that happened every saturday as well. I loved the smell of the fresh sheets each saturday night when we finally did get to crawl into them but I hated taking them off and usually putting them back on in order to go to bed (after the floors were scrubbed.)
