Beautiful day - sunny 72°.
Up at 7:30. Washed & set my hair before we ate. After we ate I done dishes & straightened up the house - then we went to Catherine's & took her present to her - went to Carol's & ate lunch - stayed there until 2:30 - Catherine & I sat on the front steps & Billy played with some little boys - Stopped at Gladys's on way home - didn't go in - Billy went to Kitty's when we got home - I went after him - went over inside of car with sweeper - then washed the outside - put the garbage out - Billy went to bed early - I wrote to Hank & watched tv.
2 letters & $20.00 from Hank - one from Mom.
