Julia Brumfield Diaries

A cloudy morning but no rain. I am haveing an easy time. My hip hurts me some yet I worked two button holes and hemed two quilts and gathered some peas today. Earl & Lonnie Bennett plowed some but they need rain bad. They watered their plant beds to night.

Alma went visiting this evening. Lizzie attends to the cows and chickens. She has five little turkeys. They are getting on fine.

I certainly do want to know how they are at home. Hope I will hear soon.

A good day. Tim & Gordon & Lonnie went to Whittles to preaching. Lizzie & Alma and Frances and I staid at home. The preacher come with them from Whittles to dinner.

This evening Tim & Gordon & Lonnie & Lizzie and I went to Dr Meases to Lee Tenia and all the rest of them. They have a nice house. I was glad to get to go. There is a entertainment at Oak Grove church. I could of gone but did not want to go so Alma and Lonnie went.

Earl Bennett went to Renan this morning.

A good day. Lonnie Bennett brought me to Jo Towlers this morning. I eat dinner with brother Jo & sister Mary. After ward we went to Billie Bennetts. They were well over there. I want to be at home so bad.

A clear hot day. Lonnie & Earl tried to cut wheat today but the binder would not work. Gordon and Frances eat supper with home folks to night. Lonnie and Earl are in the hayfield now, nine oclock at night.

Earl saw Oscar Brumfield going to Chatham this evening for repairs for the binder. I do hope that they got them.

Well I would like to be at home tonight. Every one is as kind to me as they can be but I have bin gone long enough for this time.
