Saturday, January 1, 1966 Cows Went

Partly cloudy. Jackie Boutilier had twins today at the new Northern Cumberland Hospital, first one’s born there. Louise Valley had a new years baby, a boy. Carmen up here today while Betty and Mike done some errands. Mike over to spend the weekend with them. I babysit tonight for them. Cows went. Kristie is the only animal we have left. Well, that is the way of life I guess.

Partly cloudy. I done up my regular work. Fern and Lloyd called. Kennie and Dot called. Bill a lot better. Billie had Keith Bryant come, they hauled wood from Lloyd’s. Billie didn’t have any chores to do tonight before he goes to work. Back to work and no more time off until May 31. Betty and Carmen called for a little while.

Stormy, snowy and sleet. I did my wash. Billie and I to town. We paid bills left and right. It would be hard if a want for what Billie does. We called at Betty and Carmen’s. Betty and I went shopping. Billie gave her some money and she bought some groceries. Bill and I took a chair down to Betty’s in the evening.

Tuesday, January 4, 1966

The sun came up this morning for the first time in weeks. It sure looked nice. Billie took Fern down to get a permanent. I went down to help Betty get ready for a big event. Mike’s coming tonight. She fixed a pot roast and made a layer cake and cleaned up the apartment. She and Carmen had baths and shampoos. Mike paid her $25.
