A nasty bad day. Rained by spells all day.
Harry and I was up to the cemetery and got the print of a leaf off of Blairs tombstone. And took it in to the place where they are making dad (husband) a marker. So they could make the same design on dads marker.
Then we come home and Ida had dinner about ready. So Harry went home to sleep and then, He & Eddie come for supper to nite. Harry goes to work at 12 to nite. And Eddie went home to do some work and feed the cat.
