down twice a day. I wish Pa could get rid of the store, it worries him more than than any good that he derives from it. he thinks after you come home he can sell out or give it awy. the restaurant the other side has changed hands. I think Pa seems about the same. he spaded up some of his garden yesterday Lena has brought home strawberries several times she makes a box go two meales, by cutting them up & sweetening them with karo & eating them on buiscuits & you see it is juicy & better than sugar for Pa, try it its good, she sometimes cuts up marshmallows it gives them a flavor. We put in the last of the cherries left over too. Lena tries new dishes, seems very fond of fixing up things that will agree with Pa & thinks less bread is better for him. I hope by now that Mrs Cutting has got throug her butchering & her mouth is better poor woman.
love to all Ma
