Cloudy and rained. I did the ironing. Mama made pillowcases and two new sheets. Rained hard most all day. Betty made preparations for her birthday for tomorrow. Donnie began to be sick.

Bill went to work at 4:30 this morning. Snowed all day, and some rain. Billie’s last check came mustering out pay. I washed windows, made Betty’s birthday cake. She decorated it. Billie cleaned out the hen house. Donnie sick. Tonight it was snowing. Fern and Lloyd came out for Betty’s birthday. Billie, Mama, Fern, Lloyd, and I had ice cream and cake. She had a lot of nice gifts. 15 inches snow came.

  1. How long was Aunt Blanche gone for Uncle Bob to be so happy that he took her to the Ice Follies? Does not sound like the Uncle Bob I remember. Haha . That was sweet of him though.
