Friday, May 10, 1968 BILL’S VACATION BEGAN TODAY

Partly cloudy day, some rain skuds. Bill home first day of his vacation. He fixed the pipe (water) down in the well. Cleaned the sand and grit out of the faucet. We went to town. Lewis brought the car back. It is in very good condition. Bill polished it all in good shape. Got a place ready around the outside of the breezeway to plant flowers. Minnie called and brought us a big mess of the green. Betty and family came about 8 PM. Carmen’s arm in a cast. Kim all dressed up real cute.
