March 5, 2010 - The weather was OK, not as nice as yesterday. It was maybe 50 at the most, and windy. The chimes were clanging. Did a little weed pulling. We went to Madras for Chinese food.

1934 - Stork gave me a hair cut. Ordered a "C" sweater at bishops. (I assume this was his Chemawa sweater. It is still in great shape, but tiny. We hung it up at the memorial for Dad. He had in his possession at the time of passing this sweater and a few clothes and fishing equipment - that's it - all that was important to him. m) Worked out with the grappling team.
1935 - We saw "Here comes the Marines" & Harlem Raphsody" last nite. Kay is the most wonderful woman in the world. Back to Warm Springs.
1936 - Sec. 2 - 4T - 82 " A nice day. The roads are awful muddy in the woods but dusty near the Agency.
1937 - Weigh 119 lbs. Windy today. My time off is up. May go to work tonite. Wrote to Robair & Arnold.
1938 - Went to the Agency today. Had a flat. The road was pretty ruff.

Diary
March 2, 2010 - The weather in Warm Springs started out warm, reached the low 50's. Then the wind started blowing, the chimes are clanging. Who knows what it's bringing in.
- - - - -
1934 - Had to say goodbye to Sweets. Wet today. Rode to Agency with Billy Mac & to Portland with Mrs. R. "Saw" Designs for Living".
1935 - Stayed at the Commercial last nite in Madras. Got the 8:30 stage to Portland. Kay & I saw "The Little colonel." Stayed at the Byron.
1936 - Ed. F. isn't here yet so I took his place. Was a keen day. Rover weighed 61#. (Rover was a black collie. I don't know when Dad got him, but he was still around during my lifetime. My sister thinks he lived to be about 17. I remember him from around 1950. Mom told the funny story that Rover came with my Dad but when they wrestled, Rover was on Mom's side. Rover also saved my life, well, I though so, anyway. We were digging roots when I was no taller than a sagebrush. Rover wandered off and I followed him. I was crying since we were lost. But, no-one else knew we were lost because they could see Rover's tail above the sagebrush. He was leading me astray. He was beautiful and very nice. m)
1937 - Walked down the river and Joe Estabrook picked us up. Drove Chas. J. truck home. They gave us fish & deer meat.
1938 - The snow is melting fast. Listened to flood conditions in California over the radio.

Poetry
Here is another poem written by my mother-in-law. It must have been written in 1941 - her parents' 27th wedding anniversay day was on January 1.
Wedding Bower
Twenty-seven years ago today
God plucked two of His flowers
and united them in a heavenly way,
In a lovey Wedding Bower.
First they bloomed so lovely and gay
Because they were young and eager.
These flowers grew sweeter each day
And to each other became more dear.
As the years passed on
Seeds were sown of the two
And more flowers came along
As fresh as the morning dew.
Dear God, we thank you.
For those two lovely flowers
From your garden, are the dearest two
Ever united in Wedding Bowers.
They are our Mother and Dad.
Today is their twenty-seventh anniversary.
They are the best folks a child ever had.
Thank you, God, for letting them marry.
Phyllis Thompson Shw
To the folks on their anniversary.
