A very nice day. Bill, Betty, Kim, Zak and I went to Dorothea’s and Betty took Bill and Kim into Portland. Kim to the clinic. She is getting worse, her heart condition. It is enlarging and the heart and the breast is enlarging. In August she goes for a cardiac catheterization. This falls she goes for the open heart surgery. Dorothea was glad we came. She had some lumber come for her work to be done on her living room, kitchen, hall, and a door for Jeff’s room. In evening we called at Aunt Ava’s. Fern, Betty and I. She hasn’t been very good today. Billie trimmed Walt’s lawns tonight. Billie brought home halibut steak. We had it broiled for supper, good. Sal up with Gordon in eve.

Cloudy and on the cold side. I done regular work, cleaned house all up. Made rolls, baked beans. Down to Betty and Walt’s to set while they went to see Holly’s new home.
