Today was another busy day. The weather was finally warming up, and the spring air felt wonderful as I hung the laundry on the line. It was such a bright, sunny morning, I couldn’t help but hum while going about the chores.
After breakfast, I caught the 11:30 bus downtown to do some shopping. Woolworth’s had a sale on linens, so I picked up a few things for the house. I ran into Mrs. Johnson at the store—we chatted for a bit about the children and how quickly they seem to be growing. Her youngest, Bobby, is starting school in the fall. Time flies.
Once I got home, I spent the afternoon baking a lemon chiffon cake for tomorrow’s Ladies' Auxiliary meeting. It turned out just fine, though I think I might have added a bit too much sugar. Still, I’m sure no one will notice.
Tom didn’t get home from work until after 6:00, so I had supper ready for him when he walked through the door—meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. He seemed a little tired tonight, but he didn’t say much about his day. Sometimes I wonder if he’s been working too hard at the plant. We sat in the living room after dinner and listened to the radio for a while, then I started knitting a new pair of socks for him before bed.
Now the house is quiet. The children are fast asleep, and the only sound is the ticking of the clock on the mantle. I’ve been thinking a lot about our summer plans. Perhaps we’ll take a trip to the lake again, like we did last year. It would be nice to get away for a little while.
I should go to bed now, too. Tomorrow’s another busy day, and I have to be up early to get the children off to school.
Until tomorrow, Margaret
