Wally got up early hitch hiked back to Columbus. I didn’t even go to Sunday school.
Mary and I went over to Aunt Ruth’s this afternoon to see their kittens. Two black and one yellow. Part Persian. Mary lead BY tonight.

Helped Mary clean wallpaper. Bernard Brooks came down with some paper things mother had ordered from him. Went upstairs and bought Daddy 2 rose bushes- President Hoover and Sensation. Bernard Brooks and Rosina came down after work. Rosina has a job at Morral. Bernard Brooks took us out after Walt’s clothes

Walt came over to see Daddy when he came after me and decided to go home with us. Mary described the ring she wanted if I hadn’t already bought. And she said the one I gave her was just like it. Hope she really liked it. Waltl went to Milt’s to stay all night.

Wally met me after work and we shopped for rings for Mary. Today she is 16. Finally found a decent one at Rogers. They have to make it bigger so will I will get it for me tomorrow.
Finished the print blocks on my quilt And laid it all out and figured the color scheme. I’m afraid putting it together will be a mess.

Wednesday April 3rd 1935
Wally finally told me where his mother is. I think she’s treating him terrible.. She has $500 debts that she expects him to pay. So I see where if I ever thought of Wedding Bells they won’t ring for four or five years.
I read several letters she had written him.

Have nearly all my quilt finished. The print blocks I mean.
Messed around and turned in early.

Mary made some fudge. She was going to fix it up with pepper, vinegar etc. but decided she didn’t have enough. So we ate it plain. I’m taking some back with me.
