February 28, 1941, Friday

My health is improving slowly, but not well yet. The Wind veered to the north in the afternoon. At night it was much colder, beginning to freeze. Dad went to Stock Sale and bought 17 head of cattle. They were delivered here after dark. The road was so miry and slick. The big Truck stalled at the entrance of the Driveway, so very dark to work. The Driver was perhaps 20 minutes trying to back then come forward through the Mud. Mary has her Pioneer Dress, bonnet and shoes for Banquet. Also, her Cowgirl boots and clothes for Rodeo Rally for Pioneer Day.

Received a letter from Mildred. Her boys have the Whooping Cough rather hard. They are taking treatment of Medical Shots in arms for it. She wrote on typewriter and did a very good job of it. A letter from Estelle Harper with Baby Rosalie Nan's picture, a beautiful child. Estelle is sick to see her folks in California. It has been 3 years since last she saw them. Fannie come to see me today. She is trying to save money and worried about the things that conflict.

Mary took me to see picture show of Gone With The Wind. It certainly is a great Picture, well portrayed and played by Star Actors. A large attendance, all were enthusiastic over the movie. The last of February passing quietly.
