19 - I did up my Sat. work in the forenoon. I finished mending stockings for once.
20 - We went to church. I had 5 scholars in my class. After S.S. we had a message bearer meeting. The Visiting Committee reported one visit. We went to church again in the evening.
21 - Today we canned 7 quarts of beef. I did some mending & cleaned my Black dress & my blue shirt & Hazel's tan dress & her coat & cap. In the evening the trustee board met here. They decided to let the Red Cross have entertainments in the church & charged admission. I don't feel right about that. I don't think it is right at all to charge admission. They decided also to let the Ladies Aid do their wash in the basement.
22 - I guess I was mistaken about that about charging admission into the church. They are not going to do that. I'm glad. I pressed my shirts yesterday. today. This afternoon we went to Fred Sunderman's for supper. They had fruit salad & cake & roast beef & mashed potatoes.
23 - I did some typewriting for the Message Bearers today. This afternoon I went to a Red Cross meeting at the church basement. I helped wind off two skeins of yarn and started a pair of pajamas. I brought four pattern slips along home.
24 - I baked bread today and some cookies & canned some beets. They are rotting in the cellar. I sewed a little this afternoon. We made some ice cream this evening. I was freezing it in the kitchen & I was tired & it was late and Hazel came and said, "Mama you're tired, too. Don't bather. Let's go to bed." It was so sweet of her.
25 - We went to Taylor today. We tried to sell our Chevrolet car or trade but don't know whether the fellow will want it yet or not. Fred preached at Westphalia.
26 - I did up the Sat. work this forenoon & this afternoon. I did a little sewing.
27 - There were not many out to church today. There were just 3 in my S.S. class with Hazel & myself. There were no services this evening. I lay down in the afternoon & read as I was not feeling very well.
28 - We got up at 3:30 this morning and washed & were all done scrubbing & everything by 10:30. Then Fred went & got some rabbits. He gave two to the cat & two to the chickens and left nine & skinned & cleaned them for ourselves. The boy came down from school after water today and broke our pump. So new we have no water. We put a boiler full of snow on to melt. I cleaned the cellar this afternoon & picked over the fruit jars 7 sorted those but that had frozen & forced the lids off to be used first. I still have the tomatoes to sort over & recan. Then I go in the clothes & got supper. Fred worked at the car this afternoon.
29 - Today I had sunch a toothache I could not do anything for quite a while. Then Fred took the treatment out of my tooth. Then I felt better. Then we had breakfast. And then I did about half of my ironing & got dinner & went to Atlantic to the dentist. When we came home we stopped at Laura & Orville Funk's for supper. It was 11 o'clock when we got home.
