Ate before 12:00 and went to Lazarus. Bought a tablecloth for mother $3.60. I thought it was pretty nice. She’s 45 today.
Louis and Walt came down this evening. Walked over to Big Bear and got some pretzels and then to Kyle’s for a Coke. Bought Louis some wafers and they were stale.

Approached bill on the subject of a raise again. He said that’s what the figuring was for and that he’s only getting half what Sheilds did so I guess we’re both in the same boat.
Wally called- bath- read Ho-Hum.

Wally losing job finally got the best of me. I’m afraid I made him miserable by crying but it’s over my poor ?Fay? too. He is sweet.

Olga Granger rode with Mr. Shelton this morning too.
Wally came about 7 and we went bicycling. Mostly uphill and down by the river. Such a mess. When we finally got out here was a big “No trespassing” sign and I am sore. Wally he won’t have his job after this week. Oh me.

Sunday August 4th 1935
Up at 7:30 and to church at 8. Neva to be married to Jimmy*. Had no flowers except daddy’s glads. They were beautiful. Simple wedding. Taught a Sunday school class. Got quite a kick from it. Sat with Helen Wood at church.
She went with us to Uncle Hen’s (nobody home) Uncle Guy’s (nobody home) and Floys.

Met Walt at Indianola swimming pool about 6:30. Sure had a good time. The water was swell and such a relief after the heat. Ate Clark bars and after we got out stopped at Caits.
