afterwords & then drove all over the country. More fun. Read most all afternoon. Bussy had his haircut & then we went home. With Helen Bower in pm. Did separator, made white cake & got supper. Washed hair, did dishes & went to bed early.
My comments: Would the meal below more likely have been "dinner" or "supper" in 1937 at the Kinnick farm residence? She was very precise in what she called each meal, but I am uncertain which was large or more formal and which was lighter and less formal - or another combination. What do you think? ;-)

According to my mom (1898-1974)who was on a farm in Coffeyville, KS raising five of her six kids during the 30's, dinner was the larger mid day meal, and supper was the lighter evening meal.
