Bright, beautiful day. I got breakfast and supper.

Will and I on to Winner to get fresh beef out of locker at Ice Plant, groceries, chick feed & had dinner at Margarets Cafe, and went to Sweet Shop for Malted Milk, etc. but Will got in a sweat so we came home, left a lb. of butter at Abbotts and brought Cora Ann home from school. Will saw Bill and Elsie and Billie at Abbotts for they took Marjorie to school and she is to stay at Abbotts until school is out, which will be in 4 weeks, also Chas. McCormick came to Abbotts. We looked through cows after we got home then unloaded the car. Will fed the chicks as I was writing down the transactions from trip to Winner and was slow in doing the work.
