A very nice day. I cooked. Went down to Mrs. Dearborn’s early so as to not have to go tomorrow. I had a nice birthday. $5 from Billie $5 from Mama. Kettle from Betty, singing teakettle from Fern and Lloyd. Also an aluminum clothes line. Cards from Esther, Cliff, Billie, Susan, Dorothea and Uncle Os.
