Today it is a year that we moved up in our new house, but we didn’t have such weather then, like it is today. Bertille was at church this morning. There were some people here this afternoon & wanted to buy some eggs, but they wanted all white ones & that we didn’t have, so from here they went down to Braun’s. We were invited to a dance out at Ettling’s tonight, it is a birthday party, but we didn’t go. Eggs are .27¢ today. Mrs. Anna Lutz is awful sick at present, she has a nervous break down. Papers were given out this evening for Gambach’s Sale. Starts Saturday. Merchandise, shoes, hardward, clothing, this is closing out sale.
