April 15
Easter Sunday.
How well I remember 20 yrs ago when they placed a tiny bundle in my arms. Edwina you have always been a joy and we wish you many more birthdays. On to Bedias. Up at 4:30 and gone at 7. we had a grand day and did I enjoy it thanks to Tom & Irene. what a wealth are friends.


More gardening!
And Tuesday Irene calls to tell her about Bedias. I guess the entry on April 14th implies that Alma didn’t get to go?
The April 15th entry is so sweet. Your wish came true, Lill. Edwina had many, many more happy birthdays. Also, she added this to her scrapbook for that day: “under the whispering pines of Bedias Texas. April 15, 1934 what a wonderful day. the happiest birthday I have ever spent.”
