After lunch Mr. Brown, a man who rides with Dad to work, came over & stayed all afternoon & for supper & after until about 8 or 9. In the afternoon I went & started raking the lawn we were at before. About 3:00 Dolores joined me & we raked until about 5:00. We did all the front lawn but 1 pile - got $1 apiece & we will get 50¢ apiece for back yard. Dolores has over $2.00 now.
