HANK IN BED ALL DAY

---

Henry went to G.R. to

Road Comm meeting.

Finished ironing this P.M.

Hank in bed all day

but feeling better to-night.

Gave him lemon

juice real often.

Cold East Wind.

I am not quite certain if the flu remedy that Edna is giving Hank "real often" is lemon juice or some other sort of juice. I do know that on at least one occasion in my childhood I received a dose of honey and lemon juice that may or may not have also contained a bit off whiskey.

You don't have to have a cold to enjoy the benefits of a Hot Toddy. It is a great drink for sipping in the evening (or middle of the day) to warm up.

There are plenty of Hot Toddy recipes available via a quick internet search but for sake of ease and to complete this post, here's a link to a recipe for a classic Hot Toddy.
