Weather is a continuation of several days, damp, dark and gloomy. A mist hangs over us. I think the Sunshine will Break thru the clouds as in the far distance there is a Streak of Blue Sky showing.
The School Buses still have Mud to plow thru. My cold has loosened. Scripture reading 27:14, I Sam. 30:6-8.
Our family of 4, Dad, Frank, Mary and I look about the same as the weather, sick and gloomy. My Spirit rejoices in the Mercy of the Lord, Father and Creator and Protector of the weak.
Another dreary day ended. Was too weak to dress. Sat in chair trying to read and forget my coughing. Frank sits in by kitchen fire and table playing Solitaire. Sometimes I work Cross-word Puzzles. I felt less anxious. Barbara spent the nite here.
It was serendipity
to have Mittie's Journal to read and share in 2008. The calendar days of 1941 are the same as 2008. Richard received the Journal from his mother, Fannie, and gave the Journal to his cousin Betty in spring 2008. This great-granddaughter first had it in hand in July 2008. For a few weeks it was transcribed to email for family. Mittie's Journal blog began October 12, the anniversary of the day Mittie and Rufus landed at Gip, Oklahoma 1892 in open prairie. Check out that Journal entry. It is a blessing to share this Journal with others. To stay in the matching year the remaining Journal days appear in the Journal Archive as they are posted. Thanks for stopping by. The 1936 journal and part of 1937 is also available for transcribing. Work in progress.
