"Just
as we were getting through with dinner yesterday, Herbert and family came to
visit with us. Daddy had to go to help
thresh but the rest of us got to visit.
We went down to the swimming hole and Herbert and the kids went
swimming. They had a fine time riding
Foxy also.
"I
would like to bake cookies etc. much oftener to send to you but the sugar
situation is really getting serious and we are not getting as much canning
sugar this year. I baked some with honey the other day. They weren't so good but I am going to doctor
up the recipe and see if I can improve it somewhat.
"Keith
Parry is home on furlough, the first time for three years. He went into the army about the same time Dale
did and had only one furlough before going across. He was wounded seriously in
the leg several months ago on one of the Pacific islands. He came to the states two or three months ago
and was in a hospital in California but is home now for 30 days and has to
report back to the hospital at that time.
He uses a cane and limps considerably but gets around very well. Mr. Parry said he drove the tractor some last
week. He doesn't know yet whether or not
he'll be discharged."
