A beautiful day. I washed, clothes dried good. Betty had car, took Carmen to doctors. Said it was a little cold she had, teeth bothering her some. Betty got her official letter today. They are still at work on Mike’s transfer. Fern, Esther, Penny and Billie up about suppertime. After we got dishes washed we all enjoy Betty’s snaps she showed us. It was so good talking with Dorothea tonight.

Kind of cloudy. Blanche, Esther, Susan, Dana, Billie and I to Portland so Susan, Dana and Billie could see the Atlantic Ocean. We went down to Eastern Promenade then over through South Portland at Cape Elizabeth and to Two Lights. We saw the rugged coastline, the big fort, and monuments. A day of sites worth seeing. Penny stayed up here with Betty. Betty, Susan and Dana down to Barb’s in evening.
