Warm drizzle all day

Arranged my room some more this A.M. Monkeyed around all day reading playing? on piano etc. Got a letter from Confer who has $4200, $300 down and $35 per month on our house and 1 lot, but we are not going to accept it as we might as well rent it for $35. In eve I beat Pa and Grand 1 game of 500. 11 eggs
