Sunday, October 10, 1971

A very heavy rain. I done up regular work. Went to Casco with Es and Cliff to Frances Herman’s 50^th wedding anniversary party. It was very nice. Their sons and wives put it on and the grandchildren all help. All had a good time.

A very nice day, on the cool windy side. Today Zak entered the Maine Medical Center for an operation. Betty and Walt’s company went with them. They went out for supper and rode around Portland, the coastline etc. I took care of Carmen and Kim here for supper, then I went down there to stay till they came home. They had a good evening. Thought of Zak of course. I did a big wash.

A beautiful day. Today Zak was operated on. A penis operation. Betty and Walt were there. I got Kimmy off to school. Betty and Walt’s company left this morning. Betty called on her way home from hospital. I washed and ironed. In evening I called to see Fern. She still looks awful. She is soaking in the solution the doctors gave her. Irma, Charlie, Bob, Pat, Es, Cliff, Betty and I called to see her in evening.
