Friday, March 25, 1994

 

Cloudy when we got out. Carmen came very early. She had Cameron with her. She got breakfast, went home, got Brogan off to school. Went down, done her chores. Then came back and done the cleaning, washed floors and all. It is so hard for her to have so much to do then when she works at the hospital. It is so hard for her. Her feet are bad, one heel. At last Carmen got her engagement ring. Very pretty and I’m so pleased about it. I hope Arnold is as happy about it as she is. I hope her plans go along as she is expecting them to. I wish her health were better.
