Papa didn't work to-day. Zella played basket ball to-night.
Weather - fair in morning and cold and snow in afternoon.
[I was curious about what Zella and the girls' team might have been wearing for playing basket ball. There are tons of really great images out there. Here's one of a team from Mankato, Kansas at about this time. -- kp]
