Tuesday April 16- 1935

Weather better.  Rob went to Des Moines for the day.  I read some and was in bed most of the afternoon.  Mrs. Ensign in for the evening.

                             Wednesday April 17- 1935

Mrs.Gay here in the afternoon.  She brought my mail.  Letter from Winnie.  She took Hattie over to Byingtons and William brought her home.  Ott better - I hurt a little.  

                              Thursday April 18 1935

I put in a very uncomfortable day with stomach and bowels.  wrote Winnie early in the day.  Hattie went to church in evening with the Ensigns. It was communion service.  Rather a pleasant day.

                              Friday April 19- 1935

I felt much better today.  I did some knitting but had my rest in afternoon.  Hattie went over to Byingtons to stay all night.  William and Mary going out for evening.

                              Saturday April 20- 1935

I wrote LeGrand and Louie Brennan in forenoon.  Soon as we had lunch, the Whetstones went to Burlington.  Got home at 6 oclock bringing Birdie with them.        

                              Sunday April 21st 1935

It was late when we had breakfast.  Hattie Rob and Cora went to church.  I did not attempt it.  Visited with Birdie  I rested most of the PM.  Rob did not come home to supper  we visited in the living room till 9:30.  Easter Sunday pleasantly spent.
