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.
Spring Weather! Weather is very nice and everything growing is jumping by bounds, all that is above ground. I've a lot of seed to plant yet. I must hasten with my work in house for I want to crochet a pair of lace mitts for Pioneer Day. Scripture reading John 13:18-25.
Fanny come by to visit awhile. She had bought some Vines and Shrubs for her house and yard. Richard stayed for the Ball Game, then Betty Lou joined him. At night Mary took them and the McGill boy to Clinton movies. I went along and went to the Ritz to see Shaw's play
Pygmalion. The three children went to different shows.
