Today is Mrs. Cleveland’s birthday.  Leona called up this morning & said “that Olivia called up & invited us all to go to Clevelands tonight.”  So we all went out there, there was a big crowd there.  Beer & cake were served.  We washed, ironed, patched, baked bread, coffee cake, cakes today.  Mrs. Reinecker came home this afternoon from Dehn’s, Perter is the same yet she said, I guess she is going back tomorrow afternoon.  Tomorrow morning she wants to can tomatoes and cabbage.

It is so nice and warm that we had the front doors open today.  We found 17 eggs.  We had company today.  Mr. Kirsch was here and brought us a book of Starks Nurseries.  A man from Baldwin was here and wanted to sell paint.  Papa took some of our summer sausage over to Reinhenckers to smoke it for us.  Uncle Matt was in town today.  Mr. Rheinecker planted some sprouts trees in front of his house.  Bertille baked cookies.  Rosalia & Bertille washed & ironed today.
