Raining some. Mama came to town. Real muddy. I cleaned up- sprinkled clothes and ironed. Byron and I got dinner. Kids started to school. I ironed again in the after noon. Cleaned up good and scrubbed. Juanita was the muddiest thing I ever saw. Bathed her and washed her head. Paddled her once or twice for running off and getting in the mud. I came to town about 6. Hare, Beeler and curly were in. We went home about 9. Stanley didn't go to town after supper. Rained some more. I started a letter to Ellery but Hare came in and wouldn't let me finish it.

They wanted to know if we were going to the show in the afternoon about 4:30. When I started home, I walked up the street with Maudie. She wanted to stop in drug store and ask Geo about going. (Not me)- I hiked on. Mama came down after supper and I went to the show. Dr. Beeler wanted Lucile and me to go but Dad was gone and I had to stay here. Curly and Hare were out in front. Mrs. Beal and Mrs. Barton came in and stayed and stayed. I was dying to get out in front. Geo came down and said he couldn't go to the show unless Greenwood came back. He came back again later and said he didn't come so he had to stay. He seemed really very sorry. Said Wed. go to circus Fri. I was kinda disappointed. After we went home, Lucile and I tried on every winter dud and hat we have. We are crazy for winter to come. All stopped in and had a dish of chili each on our way home.
