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.
Lovely morning. Real Spring weather, cool enough for fires in early part of day, calm winds prevail until early afternoon. Scripture reading I Cor. 1:23-27.
I have some flower and vine seeds to plant today. Richard and Betty Lou left for School early. Arapaho Ball Team beat Clinton. I gathered a Bouquet of yellow Currant, white Tulips, purple Irises and set them on my table.
Received a card from Ralph Bailey. I did a little work in the yard enjoying the fresh air.
