What do you do when you have an extra day off?
Evelyn Jurek, 931 Montrose: "When I have an extra day off I do some of the housework I don't get a chance to do during the other days. When I am caught up with it I love to play around the yard with my nephews and children from the neighborhood."
Bob Poplawski, 1201 Mackow Dr.: "I enjoy the day off by playing with my children, working in the yard, going for a drive or just relaxing when I can."
Eleanor Nye, Berkey, Ohio: "Well on the last day off I mowed the lawn. On other days I work around the house. When possible I try to get a little rest."
Sally Bell, 557 Plymouth: "If the day off is nice I lay out in the sun. In the winter or bad weather I try to take it easy and rest up."
Howard Aldrich, 501 Thurston: "Being a homeowner I find there is always work to do around the house. When I get some free time I listen to the baseball games."
Robert Hoffman, 2620 Stateview: "Oh I work around the house and do things with the family such as going on picnics and on pleasure drives."
Jack Wineland, 1330 Gooddale: "I just loaf around or do work around the house. I'm waiting for the four day week so I can catch up with the work around the house and get a little rest."
Harold Shindel, 2616 Beaurford: "On my days off I work around the garden. Most of the time I play with my two children. I also do some golfing when I have the time."
