April 30

Helped do the mornings work. Mowed the yard. Rena and I went to Mashing's to get duck eggs. Got 80 for one cent apiece. Rena slept most all morning. We were ready to start to Scipio when Harriett came at 12 and took Rena for the afternoon. Stopped at Mabels. Dad and the kids were there. Grandpa didn't come home, wasn't able. Harriett returned at four with Rena but had her bribed and monopolised for the night; when she had planned to stay here again. Almost heart-broken but guess 'twill heal in time. Studied S. school lesson.
