Cleared off in a.m. yet kind of cloudy. I got up early so as to prepare dinner and eat at around 11. Fern and Lloyd here for dinner. At 1230 Bill, Betty and I left with Fern and Lloyd to meet the Trailways bus in Portland to go to Ohio. A nice afternoon. We bought sandwiches on the way home. Aunt Ava and Uncle Lewis here with Mama while we were gone.

A beautiful day. I did my wash. Bill rototilled the garden. Billie picked the shell beans. We picked some pickling cukes. In PM Billie, Betty and I took a ride way down in Casco, Poland, Minot, Oxford, Norway, Harrison and home to find pullets. None. Came home, got supper. Aunt Ava and Uncle Lewis here. Bob called. Kennie and Dot called. A phone call from Fern and Esther. They got there all safe and sound and was in high glory. A happy time to them all.
