I iorned tonight
Kids like place
first time Dean & Dale saw house.
Ivard got up & milked & I took Ray to Adrian to school. We stoped in old place but Kids had gone to school on bus. I went & saw Ad about Kay & Gene staying with her until school is out, they can. she was to school cooking. I came back to old place & packed fruit & clothes in car & Ivard still hadn't come so at 1: I came home & he couldn't start pick up. We unloaded car & I pused him & started him & we went back over to old place & loaded up & when Ray walked home from school we came home. Ivard, Gene & Dean got a load of hay & brought. We ate & they did chores & we listened to ball game. Adrian beat Hurferd for 3rd place. Kay would have been high point but he took him out so Jim & Phil would get picked on all star. They did.
