Monday, August 1, 1966

A beautiful day. Hot. We got the wash done in good season but had to wait to get it hung out. We had so much. Betty to town with the car, got oil changed. She saw Mike. Betty did the ironing before she went home. Measured well at the trailer, about 8 feet.

A nice day, hot. Betty got up here about 11. She prepared a picnic. Mike was supposed to go but didn’t. Betty and kids went on a picnic down in the woods. Had a good time. Dorothea took her license over to Stanley Allen to be sent in for the car. We called at Betty’s and Fern’s. I made a cake today. I cleaned up the house.

Cleared off after a rainy night. A beautiful day, on the cool windy side. Betty brought her kids up today. I didn’t do much. Wrote to Esther. Mike stayed at Betty’s. She said he is on the uneasy side, wants to get out with that awful gang again. Betty is trying to see if she can get him to settle down and act his part as a MAN with a family. I’m afraid it will be useless. He needs some professional help. A lady called here from Arkansas.
