April 12 - 15, 1961 Russian Soldier Rockets into Space



Wednesday, April 12, 1961

A very nice day. Delores Smith’s birthday. Today David, Mike, Linda and Betty and I went to Portland in Bill’s car to have Betty’s eyes examined. We did a little shopping. Mike stayed here all night. I ironed in evening.

A miserable day. Snowed, rained. About dark it snowed quite a lot and hard. Betty to school today. I washed, cooked, made a birthday cake for Delores. Mike down with Betty this morning. He went fishing and hunting.

A Russian soldier has been up in a rocket into space. First man ever to go up. I mean nasty day, Betty up to the dentist. Kids down town to the dance and over to Auburn tonight.



Saturday, April 15, 1961

A real nice day. I cooked, washed. Done up the work. Linda here today. Mike came in p.m. Also David. Downtown in p.m. Put the lamb down to the barn today for first time. Mike, Betty and David gone smelting.
