Saturday, July 31, 1926

Cool and rainy just a good day to loaf which we did good and proper except for sewing which is fun and restful for me. However I didn’t get done what I wanted to and had a little suit for Ned to finish after supper so he could wear it in the AM. Gilbert and the two boys went to the show and I did the dishes and had the three little ones to bathe when Collins came in. They didn’t stay a great while but enough to delay the bathing and putting Marjorie to bed at her sleepy time, so she stayed up till midnight and I didn’t get Ned’s suit done and retire till 2:30.

(Grandma, we now know, actually liked sewing.)

  1. Marjorie obviously got her second wind. Doesn't sound like visitors called first to see if it was a convenient time to visit. But that seemed to be how it was done back then
