It rained most all day. It cleared in p.m. I washed and picked the first mess of the dandelions greens. Kimmy and Zak up here. Betty quite sick today, exhaustion. Kim stayed up here tonight for supper and will stay all night. It seemed good to see the sun.

Friday, May 19, 1972 Mowed lawns first time

A cloudy day. Betty and I to Portland to do some shopping. I got a lot groceries, much cheaper than I do in town. I went to Martin’s. We came home early. She got Carmen ready to go over to Knight’s Hill developments on a overnight camp out with the scouts. Tonight they mowed lawns for first time. Kimmy got a great big box of gifts from the Jaycee’s wives.
