Bright, nice day. Louise got a nice supper of Chicken, Gravy, potatoes, dressing, Salad made by Mary, 2 banana-filled pies. I made Jello but Mary finished it by adding fruit mixture. No one came so I laid down in p.m. and slept and slept. Louise and Mary went for a walk to North Tenant house and to barn. When Northwest wind would strike them it was so chilly they came back and we played pitch and casino until eve. They got fuel and eggs. Janis’s went to O’Kreek and back at 5:30 p.m so chored at barn, and Louise gave Vere some eggs and called him the City Boy going for eggs as he was going to coop and shed, and Mary had eggs here, so he got their share. We get 1/2 to give Thomas’s some for milk.
