Sunday, August 29, 1943
Got dinner over about 12:15. Went to Fair at 2:00 – Variety show & Army drilling – good. Wally spent rest of afternoon over there working. Mr. & Mrs. Myers up & brought them over to garden. Went up to Mary’s room in evening & got me a dress & 2 blouses & wrote her a letter. Mother surely is crabby & I wish she would let me raise Kathy.

Bernard left for the army today. Quite a group to see him off. We took Mary Johnston & kids down. Took Rosina with me afterwards to church & shop for a dress. Up here for supper & then after shelling lima beans. Carol came in & we went to see “Heaven Can wait” – Wally sat in some chewing gum! Rosina has moved in with her mother. I think she hated to go home.
Mildred Gorby came in this morning to help us cut Galds. She sure got a kick out of it. Had a trailer-load.
