Cooler very pleasant, calm wind from the South. I did a little work in the Yard, am rather weak and don't feel like doing much but will continue my letter writing. Cecil took Lena home to her family Reunion at Thurman, Iowa. They will be back this week. Grace's parents have gone for a visit to Missouri. Tourists from everywhere motoring over State now. Scripture reading Psalm 107:9, 1 John 4: 10-19. Frank is still at Clinton.
Thirty six years ago my Baby Boy Rolla was taken from this World of Sorrow & Suffering. My heart was left Sore from grief & loneliness. He would be 37 years old now. How these trials leave their deep impressions of Heart sickness and vacancy that nothing else can fill for each child has it's place in a Mother's heart, all children are different and dear.
Mary met Josephine at 10 P.M. at Bus Station, a very hard Rain fell while they were there. The lightning and wind were fierce. I think there was a Cyclone somewhere and lightning struck some place near here. Received a letter from Mildred. She has been busy all summer canning and pickling. I got Shampoo & Permanent Wave today.
