Cloudy and rain. I went to town with Fern and Lloyd to do my washing. Came home, hung them out. It rained, snow and sleet. They froze. Esther came over from Aunt Ava’s with me for the day. Fern at home cleaning up her house, cooking etc. Took Es home after supper.

I done up my work. Made a lemon sponge pies, made preparations for Esther and Fern to come up here for a T-bone steak supper. Esther came early in PM. She called at Delore’s and Aunt Ava’s. Aunt Ava is doing very well living alone. Esther and Fern enjoyed their supper very much. I get my clothes in and ironed.
