Thursday, April 20, 1961

At last a nice day. I washed, ironed, cleaned out the chest and cleaned all the bedrooms up for the week. Betty down to Linda’s. They papered. Water thawed out at the barn. Art Ward called this evening. Bill down to Dr. Taylor’s tonight.

Friday, April 21, 1961

A very nice sunny warm day. I had a ball, no one here to bother with. I done a lot of work. Mama was here, got up early. She sat out on the couch on the glassed porch. Betty home in p.m. from Valerie’s house. Had such a good time. I cleaned a closet upstairs, cleaned up the whole house. Cleaned off the front porch.

A nice sunny day. Very cool and windy. Bill worked outside. Billie took off storm windows. They raked up the back lawn. But my clothes line out.
