robin has the nest most built, the blue jay is building in the little pine tree. Even Gene & Dennis have crawled out & are putting in their screens I dont [[don't]] know as they know how to put on the doors, they may live longer to have something to do around their place. they have been waited on all their lives. Nellie wore herself out doing for her family. but its [[it's]] all the harder for them now she is gone for them to shoulder their care. I know how it is from experience. Pa always took the care & I never had to bother, now see, its [[it's]] hard in my old age to go ahead for I was never used to it. but still it might be a great deal harder. he does not lift his finger to do one solitary thing he is scart [[scared]] & lost his courage. well I would never have believed it were possible to have changed one so. well I am thankful to be as well as I am to care for him. we will pick up our threads in another life & continue the game so why worry. this is all for to day. Ma
