Page 22

Friday April 22nd 1927
I was home all day. Did some sewing and wrote
a letter to The Gleivers at Portsmouth. Had a letter
from Hattie. Laura, Lydia & Lena went to a play at
The High School in the evening. Edith and me here at home.
Saturday April 23rd 1927
It was cold enough last night to freeze ice nearly a
half inch thick. I wrote Hattie in the forenoon and read
the papers. I went up town in the afternoon called on
Clara Shurts Foster, Miss Scrivner at Donelsons and Lizzie
Duncas. Carl brought me home. Cool but pleasant.
Sunday April 24th 1927
I walked to S S and church. Mrs Taylor invited me
to go home with her for dinner. About two oclock
Laura called to say Harry and Mabel had come.
They drove over for me. They only stayed till four
oclock. Lou Thomas here for supper. Some went to church.
Monday April 25th 1927
I was doing some sewing for myself in AM. I had
letters from Hattie and Mattie Stitt. I wrote her
a long letter in the afternoon. She is still in Los Angeles.
This has been Bro Charlies birthday. All here in evening.
Tuesday April 26th 1927
A pleasant day. Lena did washing. Dr Linbrug came
to work on Lydias teeth. I crotched some. Read the
papers and took a nap. The girls busy with their
work in the evening. I read some. Early to bed.
