Got up at 10 – sent money orders to Whitmore and Smith for Dad’s book by Kagama and to Good English Magazine.   It is a gorgeous day do I walked around a bit.  Fixed some pictures las page1in a new album. Went to Velma’s & stayed to supper.  Took an angel food cake from the cafeteria.  It was luscious!  I think this is the last page I’ll write in this book – Adios!
