Cold and windy - cloudy. A little touch of Minnesota weather lately - gives me a touch of homesickness once in a while.
The last few days I have been monkeying with my violin a little - can play about as bad as ever. Shut up 3 young roosters to fat and kill this A.M. In aft I drove Ma downtown to look at some furniture on sale. Ma and Pa to meeting in eve and Grandpa and I played H.L.J.Q - I beat 2 out of 3. I got a letter from Lowell Daggett (in my graduating class) today. He is in L.A. and is working for the L.A. County collecting fossil in San Pedro for the museum of Expo park of which his uncle is the director. I answered it this eve. 9 eggs
