About 4 P.M. my phone rang & when I answered it, it was Sadie. I nearly passed out of the picture. I hadn’t heard from her for about 2 months. She told me to go out so I went. She had the baby there & Ray was home too. I had dinner with them – Ray is getting to be an awful pain in the neck.

Two new names, Sadie and Ray. And the baby I suppose? We’ll see if the baby shows up again before adding him or her to the list of characters. I had a hard time choosing the title between “I nearly passed out of the picture,” and “She told me to go out so I went.” I find I have to read these more than once to truly understand. I first thought she was talking about Sadie having the baby, as in, gave birth to the baby, rather the the baby was simply there. Ha. I wonder if she had the baby during the two months Ethel hadn’t heard from her?
