Tuesday, October 10, 1961

A nice beautiful day. I ironed. In evening Delores called, Rowena and Justin the insurance man.

Wednesday, October 11, 1961

Cloudy. I wrote to Esther. Cleaned up the upstairs, at night I wrote to Dorothea. Billie gets through at the Bridgton Dielectric plant tonight. Tomorrow he goes to work at the Raymond plant. Only one more day and night for Mike and Betty. Mrs. Parker called.

Thursday, October 12, 1961

A very nice day. I got a letter and some snaps off to Dorothea. I done up the housework. In p.m. went over to Harrison with Blanche. She went to see Dr. Newth and to return the lace frock Betty borrowed to wear over top of wedding gown. Fern and Lloyd called in p.m. Billie started in at Raymond today. Betty down to Pownal and Auburn.

Friday, October 13, 1961 MIKE GONE

A beautiful day. Mike returns back to his camp today, Fort Dix, New Jersey. I will miss my son-in-law and I know it will be hard for Betty to have her new husband gone. I’ll be glad when she gets work now. I washed. Went down to Pownal and got Betty. She was there with her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
