Papa, Rosalia, Bertille went out to Henry’s this afternoon and got straw for our chicken house. In the evening we went to Uncle Fred and Aunt Mary’s. She popped some corn and we helped to eat it. Joseph Braun was here in the evening and brought Papa his auto keys. He stuck them in his pocket by mistake in the bank. The weather is beautiful but is a little cold. The sun is shining nice.
