Friday January 22 1943
President of Northern Baptist Convention, Joseph C. Robbins, spoke at Trinity. I baked fancy cookies for the reception that followed. He was a very interesting speaker what with his background of a missionary, etc.

Thursday January 21 1943
Got a late start to get lunch packed & Kathy bathed & over to mother’s pby 9:30 so Mrs. Patten could pick me up & go to Richwood for the quarterly missionary meeting. Had a great day. Was glad I took Mother up on her offer to keep Kathy.

Wednesday January 20 1943
Took Kathy to Mother’s while I got a permanent in my front hair ends. Then on down to church for a chili supper of the S.S. teachers & officers. Not much in the way of a meeting but had good fellowship.

Monday January 18 1943
Still icy. Has been since yesterday morning. Everything coated.
Evelyn Marks Manter came at 3:30 to ok handwork done by Scouts & to plan next few meetings.
Walt did dishes while I bathed Kathy. He went to play poker then. I ironed the living room & bedroom curtains & hung them. Then had a bath, read & to bed about 12:00. No sign of Walt then.
Mary Johnston called this morning and said if I knew how much good a visit with me did here she wouldn’t mind how often she came. And I that she would probably be mad because I put it to her straight about putting “all” you have into things.

Sunday January 17 1943
Walt, Kathy & I to Daddy’s following SS. He didn’t go because of headache. Had dinner there. Took Walt & Kathy home while I went to Uncapher’s for candidates of church meeting. Home- through ice to get supper. Left Kathy with Mother & Daddy while we went to mission study & church. Jr’s had activities only.

Saturday January 16 1943
Mopped kitchen & bathroom – washed for the week. Mary came over before I finished & fed Kathy & put her to bed so she would be ready to go to Floy’s for trailer at 1:30. The snow of last night all melted. I went up town for shoes after we got home. No luck. Even at $7.00. Wally took me to see “Hitler’s Children.” Theater packed.
