A whole week! Can I remember everything? Last Friday, I sent Easter cards to Grandma H. & Mrs. Morse. Work? Oh yes! Mr. Schiffer (our "beloved" landlord) and another old fogy came today and papered the kids' bedroom. It took them all day & upset all my plans. I puttered around, cleaned our bedroom, bathroom, upstairs & back porch. After supper, Daddy helped me & I cleaned the kids' room & front room & Daddy painted the latter's floor around the rug. He also got Mama's desk -- was real pretty, I thought. Neil didn't go to school Friday nor Monday -- Easter Vacation. Bricky continued sick Friday & Saturday -- up and down. Sunday she felt some better but looked bad & was irritable.
Saturday morning, I finished my cleaning & then went to town in the afternoon. Got a few dishes & "silverware", some candy Easter eggs, & a cut hyacinth for table decoration. Hadn't been home long when Gladys Mitchell came. She stayed to supper and then went to Burlingame for Easter. Bricky & Neil got Easter cards from Helen Hedges. I got Lesson No. 18 back -- got 96 and some criticisms.
Sunday morning John invited Miss Scott in to see Mama's desk. I showed it to Horace, too. Miss Scott game me some jonquils for my table. I had my house, kids & myself all cleaned up when the folks came. They got here about 11:30. Jimmy & Paul came a little later in the former's coupe. Babe said she never saw my house look so nice. Thanks! Mama told me lots about Ruth, trying to discourage me from taking her, but they didn't seem so terrible, and anyway, why does no one try to look at things from Ruth's viewpoint? Perhaps I won't have a circus, but I really don't anticipate very much trouble. I believe the folks all enjoyed their dinner -- it was a beautiful, warm day. We sat on the porch -- except the three young men -- who played ball in the alley. Horace & Albert haunted us all day -- also Saturday & Monday. Ruth was over Saturday, too. The folks, except Babe and Jimmy, left about 4:30. B & J stayed and ate supper with us. Mrs. Anderson, not knowing they were still here, invited us to go for a ride. I'm going to bed -- will continue tomorrow.
