Monday, July 15, 1968 MAMA’S BIRTHDAY

Clear and hot. Kind of foggy and hot when we got up, it soon cleared. Mama would have been 88 years today. Think for her often and still miss her. She is happy, I know. I washed, cleaned up the house, did the refrigerator. Bill Stanford called.

Tuesday, July 16, 1968 HOT over 100 today

 

I washed again. Not much to do when it is so hot. Stanford boys called. Called at Aunt Ava’s.

Wednesday, July 17, 1968 80+90 HOT

We had string beans tonight. I picked greens and lettuce and took over to Minnie and Mrs. Stanford’s. Lloyd, Fern called. Lloyd got some greens. Fern went to hospital for checkup. Not much anyone can do when it is so awful hot. 80 and 90 to 100°. Had a shower, it helped the garden a lot. I done regular work, washed. Bill and I down town, I got my hair rinse. Took some greens down to Jean’s.

Thursday, July 18, 1968

Continued very HOT. I picked peas, string beans, and cukes. Dorothea and Jeff came up today. I was so glad to see them. I gave her some peas, greens, cukes and greens. Jeff is sick today, the heat I think. Dorothea and Jeff went over to Joe and Ruth’s cottage lot on Woods Pond to swim. Dorothea called at Lorraine’s today also. Bill and Billie mowed grass tonight. Had first cukes.
