I kept busy most of A.M. at little jobs, carried rest of cans of fruit down cellar, Lena at ironing & made couple apple pies (I cut the apples) I was in to see Mrs Howe little while in A.M. find her able to be about house again, spent couple hours with Maz S_ in P.M. & over to see Rose & Baby awhile before tea, spent eve at mending.
