I & Tommy mguire
had to wash all the
boards. but I did them
this noon. tomy worked
about 5 min. & said
that he had to go
home. I had to finish
them. pretty tough on
me. Louise was playing
cards tonight & she was
so interested that she
dident know that I
tore up a good - sized
piece of cardboard into
little pieces & put it
on her hair. When I
got through it looked
like snow & she never
knew that it was
there. I put some
salt in the sugar
boull tonight but I
guss I didnt put enough
in. because nobody
said anything. If I
dont forget it I will
dump the sugar out
& fill it up with salt
If they dont know the
diff when they taste
of their tea I
will quit it. Getting Colder
