In Bed

Dear Bet,
    Wednesday night finds me able to enjoy the covers.  It has been trying to rain today.  It is a change from the fog.
    Marion stayed with me last night and at four this morning we left for Portland.  We brought back two bath tubs and some other supplies.  Were back home fifteen after twelve.  Marion is sorta out of fix with you for not writing to him.  He said to tell you his address is Rt 1, Tangent, Oregon.
    Gee, I am sleepy!!!  Dad is still in bed but is better.  The Add a couple Class sent him a lovely bouquet of flowers.
    We have nearly everything moved except the wood and some other articles in back of the old shop.
     I worked down at the new building this evening trying to straighten things up a bit.  It surely is a mess.
   Marvin and I are planning on going to a pie social at Salt Lake School house Friday night.  I should stay home and work but seems I am too lazy.
    Three o'clock in the afternoon is sorta a bad time for me to slip away from work but if that is the time, We'll be there.
    Maybe I'll not be so sleepy and can finish fill this out in the morning.
                    Goodnight.
Thurs. noon
    Cold rain this morning.  The sun is shining now.  Dark clouds in the sky.  Maybe we'll have snow.  We are working on Carl Whinery's new house.  More fun.  It is similar to Finks house.  After one so I shall go to work
