Wind brought Snow and Sleet but I think it will be melted in a few hours. Frank and I ate Breakfast early. Mary, Marjorie and Nina Cravens are going to eat later. The girls were at the Sooner Tavern last night. They want to go to Kansas to see Nina's Grandmother who lives at Hutchinson. But this storm of sleet may defer their departure for a while.

Frank got a letter from Dad at Denver. He and Loys made the drive in good time. Scripture reading Matthew 10:42, 25:31-46

About Noon a slow Rain began falling making the Road sloppy and slick. Marjorie and Nina decided to stay over with Mary as long as it is raining. The girls went to the Store after something for Dinner and some Walnuts so they could make candy.

I am crocheting on Lace Doily for side board. Received a very long letter from Essa. She still suffers with Rheumatism in both knees.

I am enjoying the new Azaleas purchased, they are so very beautiful.

Guy Pafford is suffering with his lungs again and Drs. say he must have lungs drained for they are filled with fluid, but his 30 year term of labor with Rail Road lacks several months until he can get a Pension.

Sewall Jr will be home this week end for 10 days Vacation.

The night fall is here after a long day of drizzling Rain the North Wind is getting colder. Trucks have stalled in the Mud during the Rain. Mary, Marjorie and Nina have whiled away the time playing Bridge, popping Corn and making Candy. I finished a Lace Doily, one of a pair.
