Partly cloudy, but it cleared off mid-forenoon. I washed. Also I done regular work. Made bread and rolls. Washed windows, washed floor and ironed and mended. Billie didn’t do much except his chores. He went down to Lawrence’s but he wasn’t at the slaughterhouse. In p.m. I went with Betty and Carmen down to Gorham.

A beautiful day. I washed, clothes dried good. I done my regular work, went down to Betty’s and helped her. She has a very bad lame back and shoulder. I also went to town in a.m. I came home, got lunch and got my roast pork supper to going. Fern and Lloyd were here for supper. Roast pork, shell beans, boiled onions, potatoes, cranberry sauce, hot biscuits, coffee, chocolate cake with a boiled frosting.
