My. S.S. class decided on a sunrise breakfast next Sunday Morning.  Went to M.E. to a good service except that Rev. Hempstead read his sermon!  Heard a Harin Simmons quartet that was exceptional.  At 3:30 hear Miss Garrett’s Sextet with Rev. Hempstead in Miss G’s composition “Servant, Master and Lord” It was beautiful – Miss Garrett accompanied on the organ.   Started embroidering a blanket for Dit.  At Grady’s, Capt. Starr talked to me about Mexico – got me all excited to go again!  Heard the Hardin-Simmons chorus at the Baptist Church and enjoyed it. It has been a very enjoyable day on the whole!  Lots of wind at noon and a few drops of rain.  Not enough to show but tonight it has turned much colder.
