Saving...
817-19 St. S.E. Cedar Rapids, Iowa January 24, 1944 Dearest, I cooked supper at home, ate alone. I had some meat and vegetables left from yesterday so I had a good meal without much work. I did not eat the cake that is left from yesterday. I figured I'd have it with cocoa when Joanie and Bill come in. Joanie gets hospital meals for part of her pay; when we had an apartment together I always saved dessert for her. Today it rained. It is reported that Highway 20 west of Waterloo is getting slippery. It reminds me of Centerville weather. We need lots of rain as far as next seasons crops are concerned. The lack of snow this winter will have to be made up by rain if the crops get enough.
