Roger got here at 6:15 & started mowing - finished about 10:15. I finished cleaning the storm windows & started on the screens when Ruby came over - She came in for coffee - also washed 3 loads of clothes. Billy played outside all day - didn't take a nap. Mary Holmes called when I was getting lunch. She wanted to come over so I went after her after lunch. We had ice cream, cookies & coffee. I took her home about 5:00. Washed dishes before supper - Billy played at Young's - gave him a bath after supper - he went to bed at 8:00. I wrote a letter to Tina Graham & watched tv - went to bed at 11:10.
