Awoke at 9 but read in bed until 12 – After lunch felt like I was taking cold in my eyes so broke off the tennis date and went to bed.  Went to Rozella Kropp’s birthday party sans gift – I’d forgotten, and did I ever feel small!  Met Zelpha Bates and enjoyed an evening of Contract.  Home at 12!  Mr. Moen came by in the afternoon and tried to sell insurance for sickness and accident.  By paying $7 quarterly I get quite a benefit and I’m never sick!  However, I think I’ll try it Mr. Moen used to know Dad in Las Vegas.
