Snowing out & colder. Had good warm fire & that & little sleep last nite made me want to sleep today. 3 people caught me napping in big chair. Norma here in pm awhile. Brought in V-8. Dad had Hooker sale. Norma wanted me to go up to nite school with her & Lund 's wanted me to go out to Ethel Bett's school program with them but I had back ache & was sleepy so I stayed home.
