I think Old Time might stop 'til I catch up. I don't recall much about a week ago today, except that I did an extra thorough job of my Friday cleaning. I wrote a short letter to Virgil, telling him how I wrote him at Los Angeles.
Saturday a.m. did my usual work & p.m. too. Josephine & Betty came back early after dinner. After supper, J & I went up town, got goods & embroidery for Bricky, a combination & crash for Daddy, a towel, and then we went to the second show at the Novelty. O.K. Daddy was nursemaid to all the kids.
Sunday morning, Josephine & Betty went to Mayetta about 9 o'clock. Leo took them. Bricky went to her own S.S. Neil took her part way & I went for her at 11. Zella, Paul & Buster came about 1`2:30. After dinner, we went for a ride (in our car). We went out to Uncle Jim's, to Gage's, saw that Farrars, Dorothy, Mrs. Burger, Mrs. Burton & Beulah Carey. Of course the kids had to have cones, pop, popcorn & balloons. Got home about six, ate some ice cream & then we all drove to Burlingame. Neil & Bricky rode with Buster. Went around by Leo Gifford & then we parted, Zella's going to John Burton's & we out home. Got there about 8 and stayed 'til nine. Ate Angel Food cake, pickles & bread & butter. I just about froze coming home. Merrill Reese is quite sick. Dr. Stahle says it's Infantile Paralysis, but hasn't told them yet.
Zella, Paul, Buster & Dorothy drove up Monday morning to shop. They got here about 9, left Buster here and then went up town. I tried to be sick, but perked up & went to the doctor about 10:30. Saw Zella up town & rode home with them. Drove around by way of Richters to see if Mabel Rees was going home with them, but Ira was coming up for her. After lunch & after Paul took a bath, they started home. Zella acts as tho' she would never see us again. She kissed John & I kissed Paul. I finished Bricky's dress Mon. afternoon, made out of Dorothy's, quite cute.

Thursday, July 30, 1925
I don't recall much about Wed. a week ago. I know Andersons & Luces arrived home in the afternoon. Ruth & Mrs. Anderson were sure brown. Ruth was over in the evening, also Helen Christman.
Thursday, 23rd, I finished my ironing in the a.m., had just finished my mending about 3:30 when Zella & Buster came in. They stayed 'til 5:30. They, Paul, Geo. Chappell & Dorris Smith drove up in Paul's new Ford -- Paul can do some collecting. Thurs. eve. I finished the last crocheted inset for Baby's birthday pillow slips.
Friday morning about nine, Babe came. Jimmy came up to take the exam in cream testing. I worked on my Friday's cleaning 'til 10, took a bath, then Babe & I went up town. Ruth stayed with the kids & made some candy. Babe & I went to the doctor first -- Dr. Powell said four or five aspirins a day wouldn't hurt me if they give me any degree of comfort from headaches ( I have been taking two or three a day). When we left the doctor, it was raining but it let up in a few minutes & we finished Babe's trading. I mailed Junior's birthday present. It was the July number of John Martin's book. Babe was pretty tired by the time we got home. Her feet are looking much better. Got a letter from Clara saying they decided not to come Fri. on the birthday picnic (we had planned having a picnic supper out to Gage's because it, the 24th, was John's & his mother's birthday). Clara said they decided to come Sunday instead -- it would give them more time. Jimmy was here for supper & they left soon after.
Saturday, did my usual work. John worked on the car from 12:30 'til 5:30. Put in a new pinion gear. I went up town about 3 and got back at 4. Bought a book for Buster's birthday & Babe's pillow tubing. Clara came soon after I got home, came with Oscar, to see what we were going to do Sun. I told her Mama had invited us down there to a birthday dinner -- she went back with Leo. I worked on Babe's pillowslips some & we started to Burlingame at six and didn't get there until 7:45 -- John didn't want to drive fast for some reason or another. Went to Babe's for supper. They had about given us up. After supper, we went to town. Bricky wore her new organdy & Daddy went & got her hair cut short again after all my effort to get it to the bottom of her ears! Babe had a little shopping to do & then we went to the Platform Dance. The Farrar kids played and there were very few dancing. Mama came after the show. We entertained ourselves mostly watching Hazel Mc & her "man". He is a married man and living with his wife. Now isn't Hazel foolish? Mrs. Leuheim talked to us quite a little & Aunt Mettie a little. That bunch of Zel's friends had a handkerchief shower for her & we are going to have a party & give her some tweed knickers. Just before going out home, we went to the Ice Plant & had some of Jimmy's ice cream. Talked for about an hour when we did get home.
John took Neil & Bricky out to his folks early Sunday morning & didn't gt back 'til after 1:30. He wanted Herman to help him with the car. Jackie was sick all day -- had diarrhea. Mama sure had a good dinner -- two birthday cakes, one for Babe & one for John! Babe came out real early about 8 o'clock! Zella, Paul & Buster almost at noon & Jimmy just before John. Of course the men went to the ball game and as soon as they came home, John wanted to start for home, which we did. Mabel rode with us & we stopped for Albert, Josephine & Betty, too. When we got here, Dorothy & Velma Farrar were here, so we had quite a party. After, we had some pie & ice cream. John, Dorothy & Velma took Mabel out home. Then John put our kids to bed & he, Josephine, Betty & I took Albert up town to get the bus. He is working in Mayetta. They are going to rent their house in Scranton & Josephine & Betty are goign to Mayetta for a couple of months. We had quite a house party -- Dorothy, Velma, Josephine & Betty.
Monday morning I was good or absolutely nothing & that's just what I did. Dorothy & Velma went up town in the morning, came back for lunch & then went home on the two o'clock bus. Right after lunch, Josephine went over to Louise's (she lives a block and a half from here -- 701 Tyler) for a few minutes. Then later Louise came over here & stayed 'til 4:30. Daddy took us for a ride Mon. evening & it was quite cool (has been ever since).
I washed Tuesday & Josephine did the house work & got lunch -- she's some worker. She sewed in the afternoon -- Mon. p.m., too -- on a new dress. You can't guess who dripped in to see me -- Florence P. Buhrmasty! She had her little girl, Patsy, with her. She also has a baby boy 6 months, Bobby, but she didn't have him with her. She sure looked fine. Josephine & Betty went over to Louise's for supper, but came back about 7:30. Got a package Tues. from Bernice -- Jackie & Bricky each a pair of sox for their birthdays. One of John's old Scranton friends, John Towle, came in the evening & persuaded us to start a savings & loan account -- $6 a month & compounded monthly.
Wednesday morning it rained -- well into the p.m. We ironed in the morning. Mrs. Dockhill came in to tell me Virgil sent word for me to write. I did -- sent it to Los Angeles & he's in Richmond now. Guess it wasn't forwarded. Hate for my efforts to be wasted. I went to the doctor's in the afternoon. Ruth stayed with the kids. Neglected to mention in tis proper order that Josephine & Betty went to Gunnerson's -- Mrs. came for them at one o'clock. You can't guss who I saw in Dr. Allen's office! Chas. Taber! He came very near not knowing me. Had quite a chat with him. Dr. Powell treated my nose & gave me another "fattening" prescription Scott's Emulsion -- Gee! Between that & cod liver oil, I ought to weigh a hundred pounds -- well -- eventually. I bet Geo. Rockhill I would be by Sept 20th & July 20th I weighed 84. Afraid I'll have to buy him a box of cigars. John worked last night 'til midnight. Ruth came over & stayed 'til nine -- played Hide the Thimble 'til the kids went to bed and then Rummy.
Finished my ironing today & mended. Got a letter from Gladys M. Daddy is working again tonight. Went over to Roy Luce's to get Jackie this evening -- he followed Bricky, chatted a bit with Mr. & Mrs. Mrs. Luce (the other one) called me in as I went by to look at the pictures she took on their trip. Got some lace yesterday for that embroidered dimity dress of mine, sewed it on tonight. I lack enough for one sleeve. Wm. Jennings Bryan died the other day right in the midst of his Evolution "Argument" -- too bad to let a little thing like that worry one to death. It's nearly ten. Think I'll go to bed.
Thursday, 23rd, I finished my ironing in the a.m., had just finished my mending about 3:30 when Zella & Buster came in. They stayed 'til 5:30. They, Paul, Geo. Chappell & Dorris Smith drove up in Paul's new Ford -- Paul can do some collecting. Thurs. eve. I finished the last crocheted inset for Baby's birthday pillow slips.

A week ago Sunday, Daddy worked until two o'clock. After that, we went for a ride out Central Avenue looking for Uncle Jim again, but didn't find him. It turned a little cooler about five o'clock, seemed quit a relief after such a hot day! We went a different way, coming home, a not-very-much travelled road, picked some Indian Paint Weed and some Elderberry Blossoms, made a pretty combination. Daddy & I read in the evening & Leo dropped in for a few minutes.
Monday morning I went to Dr. Allen's, left about 9:15 and didn't get back 'til 11:45 -- had to wait so long for my turn. His assistant wasn't there. Neil took good care of Bricky & Jackie, so I gave him a dime. But I got Bricky a little parasol for a quarter. The demanding people like Bricky always get the lion's share. Dr. Allen said as soon as I could afford to lose four or five days, he would do something to me -- said that the tissues would have to be broken down. He suggested we wait until after the 4th. Luces & Andersons left just after noon on their trip. I don't remember, but I suppose we went for a ride that eve.
I washed Tuesday, of course. I got two letters -- one from Alma Randel and one from Jonesie.
Wednesday morning I went to the doctor and ironed all afternoon. I took Bricky to the doctor with me. Dr. Allen said they were going to adopt a child as soon as they got out of debt. It seems they can't have any of their own. I t was awfully hot that day, over a hundred. I fixed a picnic supper & we took it & went out Central Ave. to a woods. After we ate, we all went wading in a little stream there. The kids sure got a kick out of it.
Thursday I finished ironing in the morning. Did some mending & cleaning in the afternoon. Mrs. Grimed visited in the evening with me a little, and Leo was over for a little & got us each an ice cream cone.
Friday I went to the doctor in the a.m. The kids played with Bobby in his sand pile all the time I was gone. In the afternoon, I cleaned the house & bathed the kids. I got a letter from Dorothy -- a answer to one I wrote her the first of the week, asking her if she'd come up this week and keep house for me while I was under the weather. She didn't know for sure -- Glenn went to Colorado so her folks sort of need her. But Aunt Rena wanted me to call Mabel & give her a ride home. So I called her & she came in soon after six. We got started about 6:30. We went the Carbondale road, which was a mistake -- there were so many detours because of new bridges, etc. Stopped at Scranton for a minute & saw Herman, Oscar & Albert. Mr. Bolton, the cashier of the Scranton Bank, killed himself -- he was $55,000 short. We went to Zella's when we got to Burlingame. Ernest Spaulding & family came later & the kids had some sparklers & Roman candles. We went out home about 10:30. The folks came home from town immediately after. I took the W.H.C. & American to the folks. I finished them some time during the week. We stayed up for about an hour discussing Paul & Zella. Paul is getting worse -- drinks all the time & they go all the time. No wonder Buster is sick. I don't see why Zella doesn't stay home with him even tho' Paul won't.
Saturday was the glorious 4th. Of course, John had to go out to his folks in the morning & didn't get back until after 11 o'clock. He stopped at Grandma's for Ruth, and Alice Mc brought Babe out. Jimmy had to work, of course. Ice cream is too popular on the 4th! Mr. Mc has been stewed for quite a while, so they locked him up for the 4th. Mrs. has been quite sick & of course he makes her worse. We all went in our car to Osage, took our dinners & ate them in the park. Had my first fried chicken -- tasted just right. I called Aunt Rena in the morning & she said she'd let Dorothy come up. They & Uncle Leon's were in Osage too.
Saturday, I worked (strange?!). Finished cleaning the house & bathed kids & washed heads. Daddy went up town in the afternoon & we took our suppers & drove out Central Ave. and ate it.
Sunday a.m. Grimes left for Minnesota about six o'clock. Daddy went to work at the same time. Alma & Lloyd & family came about eleven o'clock. Their family consists of: Phillip, five the 30th of this month, Lloyd K, two in January, and Yvonne, one this month or next Nice little family. Enjoyed them very much but was sorry John had to work. A & L quarrel just like they did when they were in H.S. I wonder what makes them do it. Daddy came home for dinner & worked until 9 p.m. Randel's left about 5:30.
Monday morning, I sewed. Did all the stitching on my embroidered lawn, need a little lace in neck & sleeves. I got a letter from my school & I can get reinstated any time for a dollar a year. Also got a letter from Mrs. Fossberg. I sent a letter to Bernice. I finished reading the W.H.C. last evening -- a rather promising story has started "Grandpa's Affairs" by Rowland.
I washed this morning. Mary Reese stopped a few minutes this evening on her way home from work. Harold A. came over for more reading this a.m. Mrs. Shiffer was here this morning to tell us not to pay any attention to Mr. when he ass for the rent & also that she'll come down $3 on the rent if we want to stay (John told her we were going to move. We do want to.)She looks real well, I thought. Oh, I forgot, Mabel M dropped in for supper last night.
Monday morning I went to Dr. Allen's, left about 9:15 and didn't get back 'til 11:45 -- had to wait so long for my turn. His assistant wasn't there.

Sunday, June 28, 1925
A week ago Friday, on the 19th, about five o'clock, Clara & Charlotte came with Oscar. They stayed for supper, all night, and until Sat. afternoon when they went back with Oscar. Leo took them for a ride a little Fri. evening. Dorothy went over to Julia Hanna Chubbs after she came home from town, went on a picnic with them & got home about 10 o'clock. We all stayed up 'til nearly midnight, talking. Religion was the main topic of conversation. Clara was the only Foundationalist among us. Then we gather up enough among us to get a quart of ice cream. Dorothy slept with me.
Dady called Dr. Allen to find out if he could do me any good. He said for me to come to see him -- which I did Sat. morning. The girls were housekeepers & nurse girls while I was gone. Dr. Allen has another doctor with him, a little man. He game me the same old treatment and spoke as though there were no "cure" for it. It sure was hot that day. Everyone took baths. Mabel came in Sat. eve. for supper, stayed all night & she & Dorothy went to the Grand. Daddy took us for a little ride on the Dover Road.
Sunday morning we went down to Babe's for dinner. We dropped Dorothy & Mabel at the S.B.A and we had to fix a tire this side of Auburn. Mama & Papa & Zel & family were at Babe's too. We had a lovely dinner. Zella, Paul & Buster are going to see their things & got to California. Buster has to have a change of climate -- he has asthma. Except Mama & Papa, we stayed for a "buffet" supper, after which we all planned "going to California." Of course, neither John or Jimmy would go for all their talking. We stopped for Dorothy on our way home.
Monday morning I went to the doctors -- Dr. Allen wasn't there, but I like the other doctor's method of treatment better anyway. Bricky went to Bible School every morning last week. Friday was the last day. Monday afternoon, I cut Bricky's organdy dress and sewed some on it. Mon. eve., Dorothy, Uncle Eddie & Aunt Jessie took Mabel, Dorothy & me to the Grand. It was "Up in Mabel's Room", an we rode in state in a Chandler Coach. Mrs. Waldele acted peaved about something -- because her husband took a married woman? She didn't worry -- I don't want him -- she did thaw out a bit on our way home.
Tuesday I washed of course. It doesn't seem possible, but I believe we all stayed home both Tues. & Wed. nights. I think one of those nights we had some ice cream.
Wednesday a.m. I went to Dr. Allen -- he was back & treated me. I forgot to say that when Dr. Allen introduced me to the other doctor, he said that I had more nerve per square inch than anyone he knew. I ironed Wed. afternoon, also Thurs. morning.
Daddy took Dorothy & me out to Ripley Park to a dance Thurs. evening. Leo & Rose were there -- Joanne & Nellie Reese & the former danced quite frequently with Slim, her ex-husband. Chet & Margaret Collins were there, too. Also Ruth Carlson, foolish as ever. Dorothy danced once with Leo & with Nellie Reese. I enjoyed the conversation around me. We walked home, stopped & got us a hamburger with onions & got home around 11:30.
Friday morning I went to the doctor's again. Dorothy did my cleaning while I was gone. It rained some. I tried to sew in the afternoon but didn't accomplish much. Ruth was over, wanting something to do, so I let her make a cake. Dorothy went out to Mabel's & stayed all night. Fri. eve. Bricky went to the Program the Bible Class gave. Daddy, Jack & I went for a ride (we couldn't find Neil). We went out to the S.B.A. & took Dorothy's letter.
Dorothy called me Sat. morning at Grimes to see if Leo had let me know about going down home. I got to talking to Mrs. Grimes about my ailment. She said Lucila had the same, fussed with doctors & finally went to the Mayo Bros. & got cured. So I told John at noon & he thought that was a good plan. Dorothy came in at 2 o'clock & we got ready & started down home about 2:45, had to stop and change a tire once. Got Jackie some new white sandals -- sure tickled him. We stopped at the Ice Plant & got some of Jimmy's ice cream & took it over to Zella's & ate it. Others there were: Mabel Reese & baby, Dorothy Brown, Aunt Mettie & Aunt Rena. Had quite a party. Then we startd out home, augmented by Buster. Stopped for a minute at Babe's. Mama said she'd go with me to Mayo's but they suggested we talk to Dr. Schenck about it first. Of course we went into town after supper. Dr. Schenck said he had operated on a sinus & cured it, so I guess I won't have to got to Mayo's. But Dr. Allen makes me mad, fiddling along for two years, & the same as telling me that the thing was incurable. I heard him say in a low voice Fri. when the other doctor showed him the pus he got, that that wasn't doing any good, that something else would have to be done. If he doesn't suggest operating this week, I'm going to tell him a thing or two. Bricky & I went shopping with Mama for a little -- chatted with Mrs. Spurlock a little. Daddy fixed tires & kept Jackie & Buster. We took the latter home & then 616 Polk for us. Got here at 11:30.
I forgot a thing or two. Thurs. morning, Mabel Reese's mother brought Merrill & his cousin over to play with Neil. I got a letter from Bernice. I find I said that once before. I ahve read some in both the American & W.H.C, finished Colliers for June 6th. Zella has sold some of her furniture already. Thurs. was Junior's 6th birthday & Fri. was Buster's 5th. I haven't gotten either of them anything yet.
Dady called Dr. Allen to find out if he could do me any good. He said for me to come to see him -- which I did Sat. morning. The girls were housekeepers & nurse girls while I was gone. Dr. Allen has another doctor with him, a little man. He game me the same old treatment and spoke as though there were no "cure" for it. It sure was hot that day. Everyone took baths. Mabel came in Sat. eve. for supper, stayed all night & she & Dorothy went to the Grand. Daddy took us for a little ride on the Dover Road.
Sunday morning we went down to Babe's for dinner. We dropped Dorothy & Mabel at the S.B.A and we had to fix a tire this side of Auburn. Mama & Papa & Zel & family were at Babe's too. We had a lovely dinner. Zella, Paul & Buster are going to see their things & got to California. Buster has to have a change of climate -- he has asthma. Except Mama & Papa, we stayed for a "buffet" supper, after which we all planned "going to California." Of course, neither John or Jimmy would go for all their talking. We stopped for Dorothy on our way home.
Monday morning I went to the doctors -- Dr. Allen wasn't there, but I like the other doctor's method of treatment better anyway. Bricky went to Bible School every morning last week. Friday was the last day. Monday afternoon, I cut Bricky's organdy dress and sewed some on it. Mon. eve., Dorothy, Uncle Eddie & Aunt Jessie took Mabel, Dorothy & me to the Grand. It was "Up in Mabel's Room", an we rode in state in a Chandler Coach. Mrs. Waldele acted peaved about something -- because her husband took a married woman?

T's still "fugiting." Let's see, I got to Wednesday night -- 10th. The next morning, Aunt Jennie & Uncle Ed went up town again leaving Cecil here & got back about lunch time. They left for Burlingame in the middle of the afternoon. I didn't accomplish much that day, but did work on my dress a little. In the evening, we went for a ride out to Central Ave. trying to find Uncle Jim's, but e didn't remember the directions well enough.
It rained all night and all day Friday. Friday was Bricky's fourth birthday. I ironed in the morning, finished my dress in the afternoon. Ruth Luce & Helen Christman came over & made some candy & we played a map game of Ruth's.
Saturday, I worked hard, cleaned the whole house & bathed kids & myself. Daddy worked for Dave C. in the p.m. Bricky went to the Cozy with Ruth Robinson. When Daddy came home, he said "Let's go to Burlingame." Of course, I was willing. After we were all ready, we had to wait for Bricky to come home from the show. We got started about 7:30. We went through Auburn road & it was fine -- the best road we've struck yet. The roads in Burlingame were terrible, the paving & rain at fault. About the first person I saw was Neil -- he seemed quite glad to see us. Papa & Glenn were with him. Bricky went into the show and found Granny. I went down to Sutherland's and got a pattern for Bricky's blue organdy dress. On my way, I met Mrs. Mable Reese & baby & she went with me. We then went up to the rest room so baby could "lunch" where Mama and Bricky found us. Mabel went home & we went up to the dance. Dorothy was there & she told me she was going home with us. Nellie H. Middleton came over & sat by us & she & I had a nice chat. When we left, she walked down the street with us. I also saw Clara Briggs & baby. Daddy took care of Jackie all evening -- quite a relief for me.
Sunday morning, Mama & I had quite a confidential talk. Called Babe & invited her out for dinner, but they didn't come until after dinner. Then Dad, John, Jimmy & Neil went to the ball game. Babe seems to feel quite gay -- says she's getting lazier all the time. Jimmy got a woman to do their washing. Bricky & Jackie were quite cranky, but I finally got them both rocked to sleep after which we got a little peace until they awoke. Uncle Leon & family stopped a few minutes. Jimmy & John fixed Papa's desk (one Grandpa Hayson gave him) & then we all ate supper, immediately after which we all started for home. We went for Dorothy & Glenn & another boy road to Burlingame with us. We stopped at Zella's for Bricky's birthday present, some novelty print for a dress & pattern. Zella & family dined with Ernest Spaldings. Ha! Sat. nite, Babe went to a shower for Beth Haller -- she is going to marry Fred Schenck. Mildred Bush is going to have a six-week kindergarten & Buster is going. Leo stopped in soon after we got home & kidded Dorothy a bit, tried to get her to go for a ride, but she wouldn't go.
Monday, I sewed & made Bricky's dress, the one Zella gave her. Got a letter from Bernice. Monday eve. we went for a ride out to the S.B.A, got Mabel & then went to Gage's & to Garfield & took Mabel home. It rained in the night and part of Tuesday morning.
I washed Tuesday. Mabel came to town, here for supper; then we three women went to the Novelty. The Seamen Players were "it." Mabel stayed all night. John took her out Wednesday morning. Dorothy went with them. Oh, yes! Bricky went with Ruth & Helen to the Presbyterian Bible School, Tuesday a.m., also Wed. & Thurs. She went up town with Dorothy Tues. afternoon.
I ironed Wednesday morning. Dorothy went out to the S.B.A. about 10 o'clock & got back about 5 o'clock. She went to a show with Florence Hanna in the evening. Daddy took us for a ride -- out to Highland Park, to Pauline & home.
Yesterday, I felt punk but managed to finish my ironing. We went for another ride last night. Dorothy went with us -- also Horace. We went to Garfield to see Soldier's Creek -- it was up, then we went to Pauline to see a house that was for rent. We had an idea of moving "out" & saving some money, but it was rented. Had some ice cream after we got home.
Did my Friday cleaning this a.m. & mending. Dorothy & Bricky have gone up town this afternoon & I washed my hair. I am sure away behind in all my work. I forgot to say that I got a lesson back a week ago yesterday -- got 97. I finished reading Fannie Kilbourne's story in the Colliers -- O.K., but nothing special. Have started The Professor's House by Willa Cather. Am up to June 6 in Colliers. Got July Companion today. Oh, yes, and we got a letter from Marian Haney Saturday.

Old "tempus" sure does "fugit" but reckon I can't stop it. I don't recall what I did Fri. eve.
Sat. a.m. I did my Sat. cleaning, also helped Mrs. Grimes pick a few cherries -- climbed a tree. In the p.m., I bathed & washed heads of us four. Ruth came over about 4 o'clock and we made some pimento sandwiches & ice lemonade. We started to Scranton about 6. Daddy worked for Dave C. in the afternoon. We got to Scranton about 7:30, went up town about 9. The men took care of the kids while we (Josephine & I) bought groceries. Then we watched the kids while John & Albert went somewhere. When we got home, we had a midnight lunch & then went to bed. Oh, yes! Josephine's sister Louise, husband & friends, a married couple, stopped a few minutes on their way from Topeka in a Ford to Fostoria for a dance. Herman & Mildred stopped for a few minutes, too.
Sunday morning scooted by -- Josephine & I discussed everything & everybody, had dinner about 1:30, a real nice one. Then we all dolled up & went over to Agnes' (Clara called in the morning & suggested we do). Agnes had company for dinner -- Johnsons (Charlotte is there) and Bostroms. Louise went with us too -- she is going to stay a week with Josephine. She cried when her husband left her. She talks awfully rough but she has good sense down deep. Agnes was just ready to fix "coffee" when John got the notion to go -- think it bothered her some. We went to my folks -- Mama was alone -- then we took Neil down to Mills to the ball game where Papa was. We saw Paul & Zella for a minute, too. Mama gave Bricky a doll for her birthday. Left Neil with Dad and he wouldn't kiss me "good bye" -- too embarrassing in front of so many people. Then we went to Burlingame, stopped at Babe's, her eyes were sure swelled. She gave Bricky silk sox for her birthday, then we went back home (Albert's) washed dishes, made ice cream & got supper. Josephine's Aunt Polly & sister Dorothy came by. Emily Pittick, an old maid & old settler neighbor of Josephine, came for milk, and Esther H. Hulse & family stopped for a minute. I went out & chatted with them a bit. Their kids, Ella Lee & Homer, are cute, especially the former. It was 9:30 when we got home. Bricky was sick on the way -- too much ice cream, I guess. Sure seemed odd coming home without Neil.
Monday, I had nothing to sew, so embroidered on my dress until I ran out of floss, crocheted some, read some, & napped some. Daddy took me up town directly after work. I got a pattern for my dress, Bricky a doll buggy for her birthday & met Daddy's dentist, Mr. Darling. His dog has a god tooth. He said (not the dog) that we had nice babies.
Of course I washed Tuesday, and it sure was hot, so was Monday. In the afternoon, I felt so horrid, I napped, took a bath, but let my house go. Also Bricky didn't get cleaned up 'til supper time. I was cutting out my dress & who should come but Aunt Jennie, Uncle Ed & Cecil. They stayed just a few minutes, went to Uncle Ed's cousins for the night.
Wednesday a.m. they brought Cecil over to play with Bricky while they went up town -- got back just at noon. I ironed in the a.m. In the p.m., I straightened the house, cleaned the kids & myself & sewed a bit on my dress. Aunt J & family were here for supper & all night. We went for a ride after supper out to the S.B.A. Hospital, Klan Cemetery & Gage's Park. The car didn't do just right & we had just spent $5.85 having something fixed. But I guess John didn't run it fast enough to keep the battery charged. After we got the kids to sleep, we had some ice cream & talked 'til after midnight. John has taken quite a fancy to them both, and of course I like them.
