We went to Clear Lake Monday, Aug. 13. We had a good time and we had Gene and Judie take swimming lessons of the Hawaiian. I learned to swim too - we took Lois Schrock too and that helped as I didn't have to work. I made a trip to Mason City last Monday and will go again next week. I am anxious to get rid of my adhesions now.
Grandmother is very weak and tired all the time and looks terrible.
Grandmother surely is nearing the end. For three days she has been quiet, just in a doze, and will rouse up when she is spoken to, but is too weak even to keep her eyes open. Nettie has sent for Frank and I have written to tell William. I haven't heard from him for a long time since Aug. 9. Do hope he is well and happy.
