They would stay. So they would close it, so that they would go home for ah dinner. That was another thing. There was- ah everyone had Sunday supper. You'd look out on the street and there was nothing moving at five, six-o-clock because families, that was their family supper.

It was the war. They needed people. And ah he knew my dad and my mother wanted me out of the house to keep busy, so um I worked there from eight-thirty in the morning until nine at night. Had my lunch and my supper, ah a hamberg cost a nickel and ah a big big drink of chocolate milk was ten-cents, so I could have fifteen-cents for a meal.

Speaker: You're getting hungry I bet. Interviewer: Yeah, yeah. Speaker: Ah yeah that's good, that's good. Because I didn't know what I was going to have for supper tonight, and I said to Roy, "Well I'm hungry." And so- and Roy says, "I am too. We're having a big meal tonight." (laughs)

Speaker: Curse words and yeah. Especially the F-word it goes in every sentence it seems to me a lot of it. Interviewer: So that I a change I suppose. Speaker: Yeah it is to me. 'Cause I- when Roy- young Roy came home one da-- and right at the supper table he used it and I- and I just about died because I never heard it too much around, but nowadays it's just- it's part of the language.

Interviewer: Yeah, no it was good talking to you too. Thanks Brenda. Speaker: Yeah yeah good. Yeah. Oh I just enjoyed it. It's fun. Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: Well you come on out I'm gonna see how the supper's coming.

... my job was to break up the big ice-blocks that had come in through the broken wall and chop it up when I- this was when I would come home from Queen-Mary-School. Between then and supper-time. And I'd chop ice in a bucket and throw it out into the river. But there was oil everywhere and you'd slip and land on your fanny.

My mom would- I'd usually go in with her for the ride to pick him up. After supper. Interviewer: So when you were- after supper. Speaker: Yeah yeah because he'd work 'til seven or eight so we'd go in and get him.

... they would often go to Peterborough and go out for supper, and I can't remember where we'd go. There wasn't a lot of places to eat in the forties I don't suppose. But anyway we'd go into Peterborough and go to the show.

Interviewer: For example was Sunday-dinner a tradition? Speaker: Yup, roast-beef. Every Sunday. Every Sunday was roast-beef. That's what we had for supper. Every Sunday.

... Kate was a big bike-rider and I was more of a book-reader so I didn't do a whole lot of stuff outside, but Kate was al- always outside and talking to neighbours and asking people their names and what they're having for supper, and that-sort-oh-thing.

Well we usually get together with them for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, we'll probably see them on Sunday because its Father's-Day. Ah we had them here for supper on Mother's-Day. Ah so the- the major things-like-that.

... my mom she would start work when- uh at seven-o'clock in the morning and ah, would come home for supper, get us our supper and then she would go back to work again and work 'til, lots of nights, still ten-o'clock at night. And ah, it- it was tough for a single lady raising three kids.

And ah, we had- we had one ah, one lady ah her name was Sasha-Johns. After school, we would go to her place and- and we would ah- we would stay there until suppertime and then- and then we would go home when mom got m-- when my mother got home from work.

He bought all my food, paid ah- give me my lunch and- and we usually always had supper before we come home too. And ah he lived in Fenelon-Falls but his farm was right out where I live now. On the farm that I live now.

Speaker: Used to hav-- yup, Strawberry-Suppers, Foul-Suppers and they're still on, but there's a lot of things that we don't do anymore. Interviewer: What's a Strawberry-Supper? Speaker: Well United-Church puts a Strawberry-Supper on and it is um, it's a hot and cold buffet. Um, like twelve-bucks I think it is- it'll cost yeah.

And they have a lot of strawberries and whipped-cream and strawberry-shortcake and-all-that for dessert so and then the Anglican-Church they have a- a foul-supper which is turkey and all the trimmings and the- you'll have to get Doug to bring you up here these times you-know!

Um you-know somedays I barely have enough time to even talk to my dad on the phone to see what we're gonna do for supper 'cause it's just, you-know my two lines are going I'm getting two-hundred-and-fifty emails and it's just- it's overwhelming somedays.

Well he offered to co-- he offered to come and um have some supper and then wash my hair so I though that was a great idea. And then he cracked the egg over my head and I- then I had some fun words for him.

Yeah we come home and he sits there and meows, meows, meows, wants your attention, he doesn't want supper, he wants your attention? And then he rolls over the floor couple times until you pick up and pet him.

Most time you spend time at the beach. So you pretty much wake up make a huge breakfast, go to the beach the whole day, so you wouldn't- pre-- pretty much skip lunch, you'd take snacks or-whatever, and then ah go back to your campsite for supper.
