Saturday, October 11, 1969

A dreary miserable day. Didn’t get up very early. Done up the work. Made ripe cuke pickles, rolls, pie, baked beans. Billie mowed the second (?) of clover at Walt’s and the garden of old weeds. Walt worked all day cleaning it up. Fern up for supper. Billie worked up to Ray McDonald’s mowing for Lawrence. Bill called at Betty’s and watched ballgame in p.m.

A cloudy miserable day, on the cool side. I done up my work, went down to Betty’s. We cleaned paint off her windows and washed some. She did a huge ironing. Came home, got supper. After supper Fern, Billie and I went down to Cornish and got butter.

Tuesday, October 14, 1969

A nice mild day. I worked at Betty’s. We did her outside windows, the grain room and she cleaned up her whole house. It looks very clean after it was all done. She went to town for me. Fern had another one of those dizzy spells tonight. She was real bad.
