being a great friend to both she and her husband, he remembered her in his will, isnt it nice, some people are born lucky. Harold Capers mother went to the hospital and had a large sized tumor removed. and afterwards her foot and leg turned black, she had to have her leg amputated, she is now at Ruthes. gangrene set in and there isnt anything that will stop it. she seems to have had bad luck throuout her whole life. "Boobies" baby is a little girl and they named her, Melba Corinne how is that for a name It has begin to clear off I guess, for the wind has started to blow a cold ware is coming next according to the weathes man. I must bring up the find down cellar, before Pa comes home, or he will find fault, I do dread another cold ware, that, seems all there has been after every storm, when it clears off. our last ton of coal seems to melt away pretty fast. Well Pa brought home some fresh pork for a roast for tomorrows dinner, and I am going to make a berry pie. today I make a raw rice pudding. I did not get my sugar in time to really do much cooking I have been crotcheting on my jacket all day, I am doing chinchilla ones now, the last of that color they are sending and I am thankful, they are hard on the eyes and crock my hands, too, and also are not so soft to crotchet, yarn is part cotton I guess. Abbie is so lame she has had to go with a crutch, feet and legs swell terribly. Well as it is time for Pa to come home I guess I will say good day
