MAY 6 1948. Rainy again! Built my first fire in furnace. Walked to Lbn Co. to order some sacks of coal and pay bill. 1949 In PM I took 45 Home Ec. girls to Richland Center to see Homemakers' Achievement Day dem. Art. Bahr, driver. Chef Gulley, demonstrator. Home to Middleton in daylight. 1950 Hans and I put coat of "rubber paint" - ivory - on hall walls. I used roller, he a brush for corners. Very tired. Our yard a litter of branches from last nite's windstorm. 1951 K to Dan Hallock's for day. Frank, Dale K and "Hank" of Vt. here for breakfast. Frank here for chicken dinner. After nap, Hans and I to Weidemann's and stayed for supper. 1952. Temp. dropped to normal for first in 10 days. Made pinwheel cookies, made out OPS report, picked violets, helped Mmes. Williby, Gruber, and Utter serve at club after 3 films shown by Mr. Kromrey. Frank drove my car to Rockford [College?].
