Virginia Oldham
called and said
aunt Georgia asked
her to call & tell us
she couldn't come today
that Elsie's car is out of shape and
couldn't get it fixed
in time to come.
Mrs. Jones came this
morning. We ate part of mother's
birthday cake &
fried chicken even
if we didn't have
any company. Rex & I
went to town this
afternoon. I went to
the Show and saw "Life
with Father." It rained
some this afternoon & is
raining tonight.
