I got Robert ready for school. He went down to the bus and told his Dad he was sick so Rex let him come back to the house. I think he was able to go to school for he has been playing all day. I canned 5 qts. of Damson's and made over 5 qts. of preserves and a little Damson jelly. I made 3 1/2 gallon's grape Juice. Mother fixed nearly all the grapes & Damsons ready to be Canned and make the preserves. I got a letter from Alyene Roger's. She sent some pictures that were made while we were in Okla.
