August 24 - 27, 1965 Dennis Arrives To Take Family Home

Tuesday, August 24, 1965 Dennis came

About 4 AM Dennis got here from Michigan. I ironed, made a cake. A very hectic day because of Mike and what he will do. For Carmen’s sake I hope he comes back. She needs him. She is the one to feel sorry for and I do. She is so helpless. She is innocent of everything. Dorothea and Dennis glad to see each other. Jeff is so glad to see his dad. Fern up for a steak supper.

Clear in a.m., clouded up late. Dorothea and Dennis didn’t get up till 2 PM. I got all my work done. In mind I may go tomorrow. It is all so doubtful. Betty not at all happy. She has quite a problem to solve. She has been up to the trailer most all day, and down to Fern’s tonight. Dennis showed his pictures night. No word from Mike.

Billie left this morning for Acton Fair. Dorothea, Dennis, Jeffrey and Susan left this morning. I DID NOT GO. Because of Betty I didn’t go. I will go later. It was hard to see them leave. I have had the happiest and most relaxing summer then I have had in a long time. It was just the best having Dorothea and Jeff here. It’s been six weeks and two days. She helped all summer with all the work. Cloudy all day. Betty so pleased I stayed at home. She needs me. We went to Fryeburg, got lunch. Got TooMeeko home.

A nice day, on the cool side. I done up my work and done some figuring. Mike called last night, is coming back today. Hope and pray everything will come out as for the best. I’m so shook up over it all. Betty is too. Mike didn’t stay, Betty sent him out of her life. Later decided best for her children he come back if everything can be alright. So here is hoping he calls and ready to come back and do right. Betty and I to town.
