I wrote my Cuppy’s Corner News Monday morning. Delia Atkinson got it later in the forenoon. I enjoyed the roast beef dinner and cake from the Manor kitchen. In the evening, I watched the Minnesota Twins play the Boston Red Sox.

I wrote my news Monday morning. Editor Kristi Hine came to get it. Her mother Delia Atkinson and sisters Jean Ferguson and Cathy Perry were going on a trip together to Hamilton, Montana. I enjoyed the hamburger dinner and peach sauce from the Manor kitchen.
