Sunday, the day of rest. Today we clean the house and write letters then take the day off. Of course I cook and today looks like a good day to make the bread instead of waiting to tomorrow when I really need it. Last night it got cold, 47 degrees this morning but the sun is out so it should warm up quickly. If my tomatoes get some red on them I will fry those today also. Have a great day.
The diary for 1910 is missing. I don’t know if it was distroyed, lost or if some one else has it. I know Warren kept some and Phyllis had one that she gave to the Historical Society in Concord, NH. But I have no idea which ones they have. So we will go on with 1911 and maybe get some clue was to what has happened in the last year. I know Dora was taking in boarders so maybe we will meet some new faces in the home.
