Saturday April 11th 1925
I wrote to Lydia and packed up a few things to go
over to Hatties which I did in a taxi. Spent the
afternoon and evening visited with her.
Sunday April 12th 1925
Easter Sunday. Rob took Hattie & me to S S and Cora
came to church. Normia was away so Rob took us all out
to dinner and for a ride. I read and slept after that.
Hattie got the supper and let me wash the dishes.
Monday April 13th 1925
Came down town in AM and at Otts office. Then
went to Cemetery. Walked back to Hatties from there.
Wrote Ida and rested. Took Cora & Hattie to picture show in evening.
Tuesday April 14th 1925
We were home all day. I began a bead bag. Slept
awhile in PM. Hattie busy with different things.
We were up over The George awhile. I took Hattie
and Cora to a fine play in the evening, "Foot Loose."
Wednesday April 15th 1925
Was busy with my bag all AM. Hattie and I went
over to Mrs Bynaters to a church meeting in the PM.
Called on Mrs Crum and Mrs Shultz. Dr Whinery took us
home. Hattie and I to entertainment in evening. Very good.
Thursday April 16th 1925
I was working at my bag all AM. Cora brought me
home soon after dinner. Fannie has the house cleaning
about finished. She is rather bad of with asthma.
I knit on my bag and did some writing.
