Edna stays home to finish ironing

---

Beautiful Day.

Washed and did all the

ironing this evening.

This is school meeting

night. Edwina came and

wanted me to go with her

to the meeting but thought

I had better finish my

ironing.

Henry away on Right of Way

work.

With hardly any words at all, Edna's personality and inner thoughts often spring to life off of the page. If you have been reading along, you know that Edna can accomplish a lot in a day, likes to be part of all the goings on in her community, and goes a lot of places with Edwina. For some reason, Edna did not want to go to that school meeting and she knows (and we know) it likely had nothing to do with her needing to finish the ironing.

In case you were wondering what Edna missed at the school meeting, don't worry. I was able to track down the minutes and financials.
