We have an addition to our family - the Neese family cat had kittens and we adopted one of them. Al comes home for lunch every day, which is great, and when we sit our lay down on the couch Kitty jumps up at our feet, then slowly creeps up until she's in our arms. She sure is cute, loves to play with Al's socks.

Today is wash day, and we have no washing machine, so I wash on a washboard in the bathtub and hang them on the clothes line outside - they always smell so good when their dry and I bring them in.

One morning, March 20, 1936 to be exact a salesman comes to our door - he was selling sewing machines - electric Singers - and I could buy it with no money down and $3.00 a week so I finally gave in and bought it ($134.50). When Al came home for lunch he was real upset - he thought I needed a washing machine not a sewing machine- he went out looking for the salesman but didn't find him. Thank goodness - anyway now we have a "table" to put our "radio" on and believe me we or I will never buy any thing without talking it over first.

I need to make an explanation about Al's name. His family all call him by his nickname: "Bee" and they have me doing it too; so from now it's "Bee" instead of Al.

Bee wore a white shirt, ties and dress pants to work and sliding in and out of the delivery truck was hard on the seat of his pants -- one day I noticed his pants were awfully thin and these pants were part of a suit and we got him new pants - "What to do with the old suit??" We had it cleaned and since I had a sewing machine, I ripped the suit apart, pressed it
