Another nice beautiful day. I churned. Then we took off for Portland. Betty shopped for herself. She is the most pleased girl I have ever seen in a long time. I like so much to see her happy. She dressed up and went to town to show them off. She is so proud and happy. She got shoes, sneakers, slacks and slippers and a jacket.
