This morning after tea June and I went down to the Lyric to see “Sorrel and Son”. I had heard from several people that I shouldn’t miss it and I’m glad that I didn’t. It was really a wonderful picture. Pop came for us with Helen because she was to have lunch with us. When we got home Jean was there already. We had lunch and then went into the music room and talked. Helen had to go back to work at two but Jean stayed until four. Then she and Mom went to two different teas and I went to call on Myra Belle. She has thrilled me so about Oregon that what other people say against it doesn’t affect me at all. She gave me her Oregana (the year book) to take home. We had a wonderful visit. June came for me about six and went home and all but ate the book whole. I read it all thru.
