I went up town. Hattie & Birdie were here for
dinner. Then I took them to a picture show. It is
42 years today since Will & I were married. Read in evening.

Ott took me to S S & Church. We took Hattie home. After
dinner wrote Lydia and Winnie. Rob came and took me
a nice ride. Mailed letters and read a book.
Monday May 14th 1928
I worked on my rug most of the day. Mrs Doyle
came in for awhile. I slept some. I wrote L D L
after supper and sent it by air mail.
Tuesday May 15th 1928
I went up town early. Was busy here all the rest
of AM. Did some washing. Birdie & Hattie here
in afternoon. Ida Anderson some too for a call. The
girls stayed for supper and we went to a picture
show in evening. A hard shower in PM. I had a 
letter from Lydia. She tells me Tom McKinstry is dead.

I had letter from Ida and Nellie McCall who told
Warner did not feel like writing. Wrote to her and Ida,
Lydia, Paul Whetstone & Belle Murry. To the S U I play in evening with Mary.
