A fine warm day and in the morn-
ing tried to sleep late but to no avail
so got up and went to the store.
Worked all day and picked
some more of the red rose
buds to send in to Harold
Williams at the hospital.
Added up all the money or-
ders and they came out very
good. Now am pretty well
caught up on all the office
work. Betty waxed the floor
and it looks very good. Home

nuals and weeded the sweet
peas and some of the garden.
It was so nice out this eve-
ning. Ruth went to usher at the
School and will he home late.

This morning I went to Mrs. Wil-
liams and she did my hair and then
in the evening Ruth and I went to
the mothers and daughters banquet
at the high school and we wore our
new dresses and looked So nice. We
were the only mother ahd daughter
that were dressed alike and created
quite a stir-among the girls who most
likely had never thought of the idea.
The dinner was nice and-there was
a fine program later. Met some nice
people and had a fine time. One of the
teachers showed some still pictures of
the trip she had taken and they were
some of the ones we took with the
movie camera. We enjoyed them very
much. Had Mrs. Michael and Mary
Ruth and Mrs. Nichols and Barbara
as passengers and all had a good time.
Saturday, May 1O, 1941
Workedat the house all day and
put up all the curtains with the right
hem in them and did a lot of work
that needed to be done. In the evening
the kids had a beach party and the
two boys from Victor came late and
had to wait until the scavenger hunt
and three friends a'me from
town weate the crabs and
did they enjoy them. Had a
nice time and to bed late and
very tired.
Sunday, May 11, 1941
A fine day and I washed
the curtains for Ruth's
house and in the afternoon
went to-the dam and found
it was all out. Now we shall
have to install a new dam. In the
afternoon the Glen Alexanders from
Seattle and their daughter came
and stayed until about six. When
they left, the wind cameup and blew
a hurricane and the float came to
shore, draggingthe anchor. I planted
some watermelon seeds and hope
that they:will mature. The wind was
blowing so that a big maple came
down and the lights went out. Ruth
went with the kids to the park and
had a nice time. Marie ditched the
boys, and they got mad. In the eve-
ning we went to the Chicken Coop
and had dinner and then home.
Monday, May 12, 1941
Monday and we did not wash
for there was no electricity. So Bill
washed all the front windows and we
did a lot of work around the store. In
the evening went to the program that
the Boys and Girl Scouts had for their
mothers and our girls did so well that
they received a lot of compliments.
The song "Mother" went off-very well
and I was satisfied that the work was
not all in vain. Afterwards the fathers
served Chocolate and cake and ice
cream the Girl Scouts and Alice Pope
had brought. It was all Very nice and
the folks enjoyed it.
