Arrived in Lincoln at 10 a.m. this morning. Didn't have any trouble recognizing Ruth as she and Jeanne look so much alike. Dick was with her. We took a bus home. They said Bert would be in Sunday. It has turned colder and boy it goes right through a person. After getting to the house we had lunch and then I went to bed. Am I ever tired. Slept until 4 p.m. Put on fresh clothes and I felt better . Allan got home about 9 p.m. I had been playing with Dick and Arline. Some friends wanted them to come over and nothing must do but that I go to. There we drank cokes, visited and danced until 3:30 a.m. Boy was I all in. Came home, had a lunch and went to bed.

Up at 9:30 and is it cold. The wind has been blowing all day. Never got up to zero today. Allan and Ruth went to town. Too cold for me with no heavy clothes to put on. They brought my suitcase form the station. Have been wearing Ruth's' slacks so I can keep warm. Guess I'll have to buy me a pair. Worked on a jigsaw puzzle and did some needle work until 10:30 p.m. Then off to bed.
