John started digging early this morning and kept at it most of the day. I went in to town with Valerie and did eleven loads of washing then went grocery shopping. Got back around 2:30. The girls went down to the well and washed their hair for school tomorrow. We fixed hamburger stew for dinner. John and Dave dug a while longer, then we took the rest of the kids down to the creek to wash up. The creek was overflowing.
