I suppose Mame & Helen will come down memorial day to see to the decoration of their lot. Irma came up here Sunday night she wants them to put water nearer their lot so they wont have so far to lug it. Arthur expects there will be lots to find fault as usual but he says the cemetery looks pretty good. The Griffins have had a monument placed on their lot & suppose they will come to see it too. Alice is going to get one on her lot also, the boys never care how things look in a family lot. The cellar beside of us has not been started. Ring said the house they wanted, figured up to $18000. & they thought it too much. Pa thinks a $10,000 house is about what they intend to have. so perhaps they will have to build it smaller I hope so. we are anxious about how it is going to stick up above the surrounding country. well we may see to our sorrow. hope you all get over the snuffles & remain calm
