July 22, 1941, Tuesday

A cool South wind and partly cloudy. There is a sign of Rain. I pray that we do get one to soak the ground and cool the Atmosphere and clear it of Dust. All up by 6 A.M. and at their work. Frank went to Gip to put up fence and will be gone all day with the Car. Mary is doing the house work. I'm glad for my joints hurt so bad to move around much. Scripture read Luke 18:9-14

Windmills are pumping plenty of water now. Mary got Mabel's Car to bring up the Ice and for me to go to Dinner at the Library given by M. E. Aide Women. They served about 75 plates of excellent food so tastily and attractively served. I met many old friends there. Mrs. Caldwell gave me a lovely bouquet of large Marigolds. My pretty flowers are suffering from the heat and dry weather, they won't last very long if we don't get rain soon.

Mary went to the Clinton Carnival with Grace. Dad, Frank and I drove to Clinton Fruit Market for Peaches and Melons. There was a cooling breeze that fanned our brows. I have felt the effects of the Hot days. It gives me more aches and pains. The clouds passed away without leaving any Rain. Some letter writing was begun but it can wait until another day. Good night to all.
