The wind is dreadfully cold today I can hardly keep warm in the house. Feb and March always bring these raw cold days. I suppose you have quite warm weather down there off an on. I saw by the Grand Rapids Press that they are nearly out of water there I hope by now you have had a good down pour. The ground won&#039;t be in any shape for Spring if you don&#039;t have rain there We had rain here last Fall and plenty of snow and I&#039;m so thankful for that. <br /> <br /> If school should close then would it open later on? Or how would they do it. There are over three months of school left yet in fact nearly four. I wish our house was in shape for winter you could come and stay here but as it is now you couldn&#039;t stand it as we have no way to heat the other rooms until we have a furnace installed and we don&#039;t like to do that until we expect to move there as you said it would only rust out. Jos. want to put a basement under the house as soon as he can as the walls are all open now for the wind to blow thru. I will be glad when it warms up again so I can take my Spring ironing up there.<br /> <br /> The cherry buds look good so far later on I will mail some to you so you can see what we look like. Do you hear any thing from Mr. Lardie in regards to the extra money we haven&#039;t heard any thing of late.<br /> <br /> Henry and Dora Gore expect to come back from Fla. within the next few wweeks. It seems as tho&#039; if I went there I would like to stay until the winter weather is over. Its easy to contract phneumonia when coming from a warm place to where it is so cold. Mrs. Gore was quite sick last year from doing that. Did I ever mention about Russel being married he is the one that stayed at home in fact Mr Gore sold him the place some time ago. So Milton Gore + wife bought a home in Traverse City. They say no house is large enough for two families.<br /> <br /> Roger is very busy these days trapping skunks he says its a pretty smelly job but its a good way to earn a few cents. Of late he hasn&#039;t had much luck. It helps to keep boys at home when they are real busy. Hazel is just as busy as ever sewing and drawing.<br /> <br /> I have most of my Spring sewing to do yet. Have you got yours done? I&#039;m not going to do as much as I did a year ago. I wish I had some carpet rags to sew My old rugs are worn out and I need more for this room. All I have are 8 old aprons and not much left of those. Hazel&#039;s clothes are always too good to tear up so hand them over to other little girs.<br /> <br /> Well I can&#039;t think of any thing more just now so will say good bye for now.<br /> <br /> Yours as ever<br /> Essie K.</div>
