"The snow is blowing. Bob, Jack went skiing today. I went down to Elsie's. Men were shoveling the road to their house. I baked a cake. We had part of it for supper. Jack carried half of a pail of water for Elsie. Daddy went over to Grandma + Grandpa Kenfield. Bob went to work on the roads shoveling snow, but couldn't because they had to be 18 years old."
That must have been a disappointment for Bob. I'm sure he could do a man's work, as he had been helping to support his family for some time.
It sounds like neither Shirley's household nor Angie and Elsie's household had running water. There is a photo of a well pump in the back yard here.
