April 11 - 14, 1965 Looking For Work



Sunday, April 11, 1965

A typical spring day here at Crooks. Bill worked on porch roof. Billie, Betty and Mike raking, cleaning yards etc. Carmen out all day. I sat around and watched.



Monday, April 12, 1965

A dark, dreary, snowy, raining miserable day. I couldn’t washed because of rain came onto the porch so bad. I had to go to town in p.m. Got my cleaning materials, paid my payment, and Billie’s last car payment.



Tuesday, April 13, 1965 I began my cleaning

Cloudy and stormy most all day. Betty, Mike, Carmen and I to Portland looking for work for Mike. To the Portland Company, Jordans Meat Company, Southworths Machine Shop  and no work. Out to SD Warrens in Westbrook. NO NO NO work, called at Poland Telephone Company in Raymond. They took his name. Betty down at the dumps. Carmen not too good.



Wednesday, April 14, 1965

A very nice day, sunny. I washed. Betty on the discouraged side. She wants so much and no way of getting it. (Trailer). She and Mike out looking for work. Clothes dried good. Aunt Ava called. Billie working outside tonight raking and cleaning up.
