January 29 - February 1, 1966 Mike in Jail

Saturday, January 29, 1966

A very nice sunny day. I got my work done early. Joe came and plowed. Betty and Carmen up here for afternoon and supper. Fern here for supper too. Betty to the doctors. She is okay. Carmen a dite tired and fussy.

Sunday, January 30, 1966 DOROTHEA, Bad Storm, MIKE ACCIDENT

Bill called out about 7 AM to plow. Also about 3 AM Betty got a call from Alice (dam her). She blamed Betty from Mike being in jail. He was drunk. Now what, I don’t know. It seems just hopeless but I still have hopes for them. I feel so bad about this. Dorothea called. Jeff is with Denny. She is lonely. Don’t know what she is going to do. Carmen and Betty up. Awful snow storm.

Monday, January 31, 1966

A nice day but heaps and heaps of snow. I washed. Got my washing done early. In evening Billie and I called at Ferns and Betty’s in the evening. We got the Lewiston paper about Mike. I watched my programs. Billie hoarse and not too good. Betty quite upset about Mike.

Tuesday, February 1, 1966

I done up my work. Got ready, went down to Betty’s with Fern and Lloyd. Took her clean clothes. We talked and discussed Mike and his latest problems. She went to see Mrs. McKerron. Called Alice, she said he was still planning to come and see her. Betty and I either doubt that. Betty and Carmen up here today and for supper. Had fried chicken. Bill and I took them home after supper. Betty gave Bill a haircut. Bill and I down to Jean’s. When we came home, Mike was at Betty’s.
