SNOW! A great flurry of big Snow fell for about 40 minutes on wet ground where it melted as it lay there. We had wished for a change of weather so we got it. School is dismissed till Monday November 2, as Teacher's Meeting at Weatherford is Thursday and Friday. Today is the last day of October. About 24 days have had rain.
This is Halloween, when all the Spooks and Goblins will be nosing about scaring us. Wonder what imps about town will damage tonight. My system is "run down" and I am chilled with cold. My throat is sore. Dad and Frank left for the Store this morning.
The Sun came out clear and bright at 10 A.M. and there isn't a trace of the Snow now. The North Wind is brisk and blows cold. Scripture reading Matthew 5:1-10.
It seems I can never get warmed through. Frank come at Noon. I cooked him some hot Biscuits. He and Mary started to town and bogged in mirey Highway at entrance to our Driveway. Some man helped pull them out. Mary went to Clinton to see Masquerade and Spooks. The rest of us preferred sitting by the warm fire reading something interesting. I wrote Dr. Gossom about George Jr's Birth Certificate.
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.
