A very nice day after some cloudiness in the early a.m. I cleaned Betty’s room and the yellow bedroom. Looks very nice. B. H. S. girls softball team played today. They won. I got a very pretty card for Mother’s Day from Dorothea and Dennis.

A nice day but awful windy, on the cold side. I got my housework done early and got upstairs to cleaning early. In p.m. Jean and Sally called. It held me up in my cleaning. Glad they called though. Jean is looking so much better, seems more relaxed. Bill and I to town in p.m. Bill got him some new shoes and a new cap.
