June 12- 14, 1962 Betty and Mike Arrive in Ohio

Tuesday, June 12, 1962

Cloudy and showers. I wrote to Esther and went to town to send Betty some more money, to help them get home. I settled the living room. I done a little more painting. Tonight we painted the kitchen floor. A guy, Paul Rand, from Harrison, brought a power riding lawnmower over tonight for them to try out. Bill down to Gordon’s again tonight. Thinking of Betty and Mike today and tonight. I hope Betty is all right.

Partly cloudy, not too warm. While I waited for the kitchen floor to dry, I did a lot of my odds and end jobs. Varnished rugs. Cleaned up the shed chamber. Worked in my flower gardens, trimmed grass etc. etc. We was able to walk on kitchen floor late p.m. Bill down to Gordon’s tonight. Billie home tonight for a week. Betty and Mike got to Esther’s around noon today. Will stay there tonight.
