February 11, 1941, Tuesday

Another beautiful Spring-like Mid-winter day. Warm sunshine, calm breezes, temperature above freezing. Grace took Dad to town, came back and got the little girls off to School. Mary and Frank both complain of feeling worse. Mary has not arose yet at 10 A.M. Grace and children did the kitchen work then she went to town. My heart and body are so very weak it tires me very much. Mary is suffering with her sides where the Car rolled against her after she had put it in the Garage. It pinned her against the wall and sprung the Car door off the hinges. The soreness makes her cry tears of pain. Frank is sick enough to be cranky, too weak to work. Scripture reading Prov. 27:19, I Cor. 13: 9-13, James 1:22-27

Grace's kids have been here since Sunday noon. Mary cooked Lunch and took Frank and I to Fannies. We have a lot of Grease Cracklings that Fannie uses for Soap-making. She was gone somewhere, perhaps to Laundry. The clouds are gathering and wind blows hard. We are likely to get a Rain. My drive tired me quite a lot but I can have the fun of Resting again. The days are getting some longer and now 6 P.M. comes before night. All go to beds tired.
