Weather much cooler this morning since the Rains and Hal around the County. These early July days bring memories of my first Sorrow in family. The death of my First-Born daughter who was buried July 1893, but it seems like yesterday tho' almost 50 years ago. A Bitter, Sad memory for my baby was so very Precious to me. She was large enough to walk and toddle after me being 14 months old. The 4th July is a Sad Day for me same as Christmas for my Harvey died during the Holiday.
Mary and Frank have both gone to town and help down there and Frank will haul Grain in afternoon. Scripture read Matthew 2:13-23, Matthew 16:1-12. Combine is running now. Mary took Mrs. Christy to Clinton to get her glasses adjusted.
Mary had a permanent wave at Clinton today. A wasp stung my hands. Oh! how painful the stings were.
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.
