This is Lena's Birthday. Bless her dear life God and may She always be a bright and shining light to beckon others on to Thee. Scripture reading Eph. 3:14-21.
I did 2 hours work among the flower. The Sun gets so hot by 9 A.M. that I seek a cool resting place. Richard Bland had a horse step on his foot. It was painful. Dick and Fannie took him to the Hospital for Xray and treatment.
These mornings are very pleasant but the Sun makes the air so hot and the Wind is strong.
Dad and Frank went to Clinton at night to get twine to use for harvesting grain.
Mary looked over her treasures in Cedar Chest. Among them is a tiny little slipper made into a pincushion. The slipper belonged to Rexie Elmo, aged 14 months of age. She went to "That Beautiful Clime" where sickness nor death nor pain can enter therein.
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.
