How is that for smartness? I got two cans peaches - 42 pts & Dorothea pd for them to use & I only had 6 pt left - so my points for one are not many especially if I buy peaches. Ruth Ward was here yesterday PM & stayed for supper & tip bed time - Dorothea was invited out & I played her a game checkers - She is going to work out by day cleaning house & has already promised some lady - Dorothea that she might help her but Ruth said she didn't know & would tell her later - Strange after all your folks have done for her - Must go get a bite to eat -
