-63- he would give us some fish he had caught in the creeks. Martin fished nearly all of one afternoon for us; and brot us a good supply of milk a few times saying, it was so little he could do for us. Osmund brot us several large fish, and some milk one morning: and he wanted to see me, but I was not up yet, so he went home again. Georgetta and mamma had visited them and others; and I could not go along. We bot milk and eggs of Uncle. And sometimes when Georgetta was coming back with them in her hand Daisy (Nellie's colt) would chase her rearing up on her hind legs threatening to paw her to get the milk. One evening Georgetta and Ida Mary came running and yelling into the house; all out of breath narrowly escaping Daisy's front feet. It gave me a shock. It was almost impossible to procure vegetables in the small towns: which made what to eat a rather difficult problem. Pauline sent me a basket full from Stavanger. And later in the fall we could buy them of a neighbor. Uncle's let us have lots of lettuce and flat bread. And very often one of the girls would bring us a pitcher.
