Trella Hemmerly – 1935-03-24

Sunday March 24th 1935
Wally got a letter from his mother telling him she was through doing anything for him. He showed it to me at Fireside hour. Tonight is probably the last time I’ll see Mr. and Mrs. Wiley. He’s leaving after next Sunday.
Walked home per usual.
Had dinner with Aunt May and Grandma Cleo makes me tired always harping on Wally when she doesn’t know him.

Monday March 18th 1935
Uup at 5:45 and down to Columbus with the Shelton only about 2 minutes late.
The do-nothingest today I ever spent.
Listened to Lowell Thomas, Lum and Abner, Red Davis & Dangerous Paradise. Wally called and now I’ll mess around until 9:30 and go to bed.
George Hensel had some kind of fit yesterday and they took him to Mercy Hospital.

Saturday March 16th 1935
Up at 8:00 and what a day! Flew Wally’s kite until he put it in a Fairground tree. Then played marbles and just raced around. Wore blue dress with cape and gray shoes up town- just window shopped and then went to library while Walt got a haircut. Slept on Wally’s lap about all evening. Bernard Brooks came after him at 10:30 to go to his house for all night.
