Hung up the second line of clothers & then to mother’s to work. The basement is cool thank goodness. Made 9 pieces total of $78. Wally over here for lunch with us. Got home at 5 so didn’t get anything done to the house before Romines came at 8 to go dancing at Seccaium. Delores stayed with kids. Ira Metcalf played. Has several new members but it still sounded like last year- but good. Ray & I went out looking for meteors about 10:30 but they weren’t enought to make a show. (Perseids). They came in for cheese sandwiches after & I got to bed at 2:30. Wrote to Betty Dunn thanking her for every thing.*
Got another letter from Eire – Keith Lamb wants a pinch of seed of our terrestrial orchids.
