Wednesday March 6th 1935
The toast smelled so good when I came down and Aunt May had packed my lunch. Quite a change from what I’ve been used to.
The weather is perfect. I wish I lived close enough to walk home or and 1/2 miles is too much.
Wally down. He visited his mother upstairs and I sewed downstairs.
Loaned her my lamp and slippers. She’s not feeling so well.

Tuesday March 5th 1935
Stopped at the Boston Store for some green peter pan on way to Aunt May’s. Saw some Robins on way there.
Started joining my quilt and I think it’s going to be a mess. Floy popped corn and I had a general good time like I always do. Stayed all night.

Monday March 4th 1935
Mrs. Haldeman was operated on today. Wally met me after work and took me to the clinic to see her.
I rode down with B Shelton this morning and was only about 5 minutes late.
Wally down.

Sunday March 3rd 1935
Sunday school and church communion $0.50 for collections today. I know it should be more.
Went to Shelby this afternoon. I drove home. And Sylvia and Uncle Perry at Scott’s when we got home.
Took Walt’s clothes to Kehrweckers and Mrs Kehrwecker showed me some quilts she’s doing. Beautiful.
Aunt Sylvia & Uncle Perry up for the evening. Had popcorn.

Saturday March 2nd 1935
Missed the 1:00 bus by about 2 minutes so went to Cleo’s for lunch and then met Wally. He was to meet his mother and she suggested I ride back with Martha. Took Mrs. Haldeman to Davis’s where she’s going to stay. Got home about 6. Had my haircut. I would just when it’s long enough to do up. Got $0.30 worth print at Uhler’s.

Friday March 1st 1935
Wally called this evening and wanted to go for a walk or something but we decided not to.
So I worked on quilt.
Wally met the streetcar tonight and gave me some peanuts in the shell.
Quite a mess. All the motor freight to do today. It doesn’t pay to be off.
Check 14:50

Thursday February 28th 1935
Got so sick about 9:30. Thought I’d never make it to the restroom. Thought I’d feel better but had to go home about 11:00. Piled in bed with hot water bottle after ginger tea and slept until 5:30. Then Mrs. Davis called me for supper. Back to bed at 7:30.

Tuesday February 26th 1935
To work- lunch- home in a snowstorm and no boots- supper- sewing- bath- bed.
That’s about it except that Wally called and I called Aunt May.

Monday February 25th 1935
Got 3 1/2 yards white tonight $0.55 for my quilt and started sewing white around the blocks I have finished. Wally down. I can’t get enough of him.
