Ruth Luce, Neil & Bricky had a great time Fri. nite hanging May Baskets. I went with them to hang the last one. Ruth wanted to hang it over on Western. But, when we got there, someone was on the porch so we couldn't hang it. Daddy called Albert up Fri. nite and asked them to come up Sun. for dinner. He also went to the dentist, but the dentist failed to show up.
Saturday a.m. I worked, as usual. In the afternoon, Daddy & Bricky went up town & to the dentist's. Neil dressed up, planning to go to the Fair Grounds as it was Boy's Day. But he misunderstood about the meeting place, so he didn't gt to go. He took his disappointment very nicely. I played baseball with him & Daddy bought him a new bat & ball. I told Daddy to get Bricky's beads I took to get fixed, and he wasn't paying enough attention to me. He got her some beads at the 10-cent store & her others are still up town. Such men! Had quite a little chat with Miss Scott Sat. afternoon. She asked me if I made the candy in the May Basket -- said it was good. Also talked a little with her and Lena Anderson C. In the evening John & Neil played ball with Harold & Virgil Anderson. I have started a "crazy" lawn quilt. I have a plain lawn side already pieced, did it last winter. Mrs. Anderson asked me to go to church with them Sun. morning, but of course I couldn't because we were expecting company.
They (Albert, Josephine & Betty) came about 11:00 and J. & I discussed our in-laws. Ha! Betty looks just like Albert and is real small & smart which, of course, makes her quite cute. And she wears little panties -- imagine it! -- and six months younger than Jackie. Josephine said she had been broke ever since she was 9 months old. Some smart child! Bricky went to S.S. with Ruth, but Neil didn't go. He was away, playing most all day. About 3 o'clock who should come but Agnes, Eskel, Clara & Helen. When J. saw them, she said she wasn't surprised. You see, I suppose, they heard John call Josephine. And Agnes can't possibly let anyone get ahead of her -- she even asked me how John happened to ask them. Ha! As usual, the line of conversation was "money". Agnes thinks in terms of dollars and cents. Albert & J. had to go home soon after the others came. They traded their coupe in on a truck, so they rode up with some neighbors and the latter started home early. The second bunch left about six. We ate ice cream before they left. I sure had an awful headache all day, but got by. Washed the dishes after they all left and went to bed as soon as I got the kids there. It rained about 4:30 -- quite a shower, but it didn't last long.
I gave Josephine Bricky's crepe de chine dress she had outgrown & a couple of patterns. In that letter I wrote to Ruth J. after her baby was born, I told her to come up some day. She told it over the phone & said she was coming & I guess they (Johnsons) all were excited about that. Clara said Anna was engaged to a Swede grocer in Osage City. Ruth named her baby Leonard Leroy. I forgot! I got a letter from Mama Saturday -- said Aunt J. & family had arrived. Yesterday, I made the blue gingham house dress Bernice gave me for my birthday. I got two Enterprises from Zella. Last night, I worked on my quilt -- sure going to be a poky job.
I washed today -- it's been quite chilly yesterday & today -- will be glad when it's warm enough to suit me.
