Today without a doubt was a heavy task day! Mamaw nearly worked her fingers to the bone! She’s got so many projects to do and can’t get the stuff from people she needs to complete the job. She’s always been the one to take the photos; rarely is she seen in one. So I guess that explains why she’s beggin others for photos she wants to finish Miss Emily’s portfolio. Poppy is definitely impressed with what she gotten done so far.

It’s just as well—I definitely don’t feel like walking today. But I did tell her I’d help with the laundry. I helped her carry three loads of stuff down to launder and then we had to carry it all back up so, ya know, it’s tiring. She’s soakin white things right now and told me that tomorrow we gotta run those things through the washer and get them dried and put away. She’s a worker—I can tell ya that!

I haven’t been brushed in a couple of day—if that tells ya anything! I’m hopin to get a bath here soon. If it’s warm enough, I’d like the bath and then directly outside for a long walk to dry. I keep lookin at Mamaw with my huge brown eyes tryin to get through to her. She says not today—they’ve got a date with Governor Terry Branstad tonight at the Des Moines Golf and Country Club. Hey everybody—that’s okay. I personally endorsed him months’ ago.
