October 22 - 24, 1969

Wednesday, October 22, 1969

A miserable sickening day. It snowed hard all day. Got about six or 8 inches of snow. A regular nor’easter. Es called. Then she went down to Betty’s and spent the day. I made a blueberry pie and cooked a boiled dinner. Walt working in Kittery today. Es, Cliff and Fern up for supper. A bad storm. Bill had to go out to work after supper.

Thursday, October 23, 1969 SNOW

22° this morning. Didn’t get up above freezing. A very cloudy and cold windy day. What a mess. About six or 8 inches of darned snow this morning. It was awful windy and cold. I went down and stayed with Zak while Betty went to town to get boots for the kids and do her shopping. Later she had to take Carmen’s boots back and swapped them. Esther and Cliff up to Joy and Buddy’s today. They went there for supper. I washed.

Friday, October 24, 1969 got rest of pork home tonight.

A nice day. I did up my work. Esther came up and spent the day. She took me to town. Fern and Cliff came up for supper. Es made some apple crisp. It was good. After supper we wrapped the pork and packed the salt pork. Bill got $97 this week after working one night to salt and clear the roads of snow. Snow went some today. Carmen all dressed for the bad weather this morning when she went to school. I ironed.
