A good day. No rain
yet. Ben and Henry went
to Gretna. They had a big
tim. They eat dinner with
Marvin and Carrie. Jim did
not go. He worked most of
the day. I made three
quarts of black berrie
preserves and killed two
and fried them and
baked a cake. That was
our dinner. Vegetables
has a bout dried up.
John Ward had the team
and went to Level Run
to a big gathering of
some sort.
I gathered some berries.
Intend making jellie
tomorrow. The children
are all in a glee
tonight eating candy
and blowing up their
balloons. Good night.
