The Green Bag

June 26, 1950

Monday morning, June 26, 1950. Another busy week ahead. Preparations for vacation next week - The Question - Should I spend my time sewing vacation clothes or finish cleaning the girls' bedroom and get it done before we go?

Answer - I'll do the most and best I can. Simple, isn't it? I hope Diller has time to mow the lawn this week, as I look out of the window I realize that's a job of the week, too. It's going to be a lovely wash day so I'd better get started.

The air is cool and fresh this morning by my kitchen window. It was so very hot yesterday - then it rained toward suppertime - it seemed to wash away the heat. We went to Grandma's to get some eggs and Grandma Lehman came home with us. She wants to shop for shoes today.

It's time to start planning for my vacation. I started to jot down things I don't want to forget to take along. The usual job for Mama! They'll depend on me to have that needed Kleenex or scissors or nailfile! I must get busy and do that vacation sewing. A skirt for Luanne, a halter for Vicki - etc.

As I look out my window this noon I see men working on the beautiful big elm! I wonder how much of it they'll cut away. I hope they don't ruin it. I suppose it was getting so big it was dangerous.
