817-19 St SE Cedar Rapids, Iowa July 18, 1945 Dearest, We had had excellent weather as far as human comfort is concerned. The crops are behind season and we currently need a shower for the lawn. The nights are cool enough to require a jacket if one it out-of-doors, and I use both a sheet blanket and the green Amara wool blanket in addition to the sheet. Then it is almost too light in the morning. The sky today is a plain light blue. Hazel is always talking about whether the moon is right or not. I prefer a study of the clouds and sky. Last eve I loafed. I went to Petraks. Irene had had her first x-ray treatment to atrophy some of the tissue they couldn't remove because of all the scar tissue in the way. Her mother was there. They all seemed to be in good spirits. It is an abject lesson to see them deal so well with so many serious problems. Then I stopped at Mc Ilvains. Hazel & I drove a few blocks to locate a speaker outfit we could hear. Then we came back and Earl, Hazel & I sat in Polly and visited until almost ten. I had some cup cakes with me, and we ate them. Davis care are supposed to have lunch material in them! This was the best evening I'd had in months when I tried to call on both at once. It takes too much gas to not plan the calls for one trip.
