The hottest day we have had & I
started in by cutting the grass
in the back yard. Washed some
of Mary's things. Then darned.
The Canteen had a 11:30 o'clock
call. 700 soldiers. We had
two other other trains this afternoon
500 men each. We were very busy.
The men enjoyed the flowers
as much as anything -- begged
for them. John & Marnie took
Mother, Mary & I to the cemetery
this eve.

105° today and we all noticed it.
Had Red Cross in our garage
this morning -- some of the
neighbors came over. We snipped
scraps of material to make
pillows. It is no fun -- cutting
for an hour or so. Started to knit
another sweater this afternoon.
Katie took Mother, Mary &
I for a nice ride this evening.
Mother bought ice-cream and
brot it home -- so we all felt
cooled off.
