Saturday, November 5, 1960

A very nice sunny day. I cleaned the sitting room. Done up the work. Billie worked at Chet’s for a few hours. He also fixed the raspberries. Billie didn’t work at all today because he worked two night’s first of the week. Bill fixed the radiator on the tractor. Betty to town in evening. Dawn, Steve and Dawn’s friend and her son called.

Very nice in a.m. I washed all the outside windows. Billie put the storm windows on. Bill fixed up the backside of the barn. Betty done some study. Got two calls from Mike on the phone. A little trouble I surmise. Betty to town. She came back very happy. I hope it was because she saw Mike. Raymond called. Kennard, Fern, Lloyd, Bob, Blanche, Kennie and Dot.
