This was a pretty day and a big wash day its nice to wash when there is someone to cook. Tut and Bonnie did that. Aunt Ellen phoned and wanted us to come up there. It was the first night this year that we’ve been there.

Sunday.

Home all day. – went to church Sunday nite – Tuddie came home. Jack brought Tut – went to Tom’s after church and had chocolate radioed a while – Bergquist preached a wonderful sermon on Joseph. I got so much out of it. A nice peaceful Sun.

More rain and LOTS of laundry! I’ve been trying to work out who Aunt Ellen is. Ellen and Emil Forswall live across the way from Ed and Lill, but they are all about the same age and second or third cousins to Ed, so I’m confused. Maybe more clues will appear in future weeks?
