Monday, May 8, 1972 BEEF CATTLE CAME

A beautiful day. Up early. Bill worked for Gordon. Betty, all three kids and I over to Norway to get some clothes for Carmen and sneakers for Kim and Zak. I came home (got back about 10:30) washed and cleaned Billie’s bedroom. Got supper. Kimmy came out to see the cows when Billie got here. He didn’t come until after dark tonight. Lloyd came up also. Billie finished raking for Betty. It looks very nice. Betty finished painting the trailer. She came up here. Bill got the shutters on the house after supper. Kimmy fell and hurt her on front doorsteps. Betty and Walt dropped in a minute.

Today I cleaned my room and the blue bathroom and little hallway. I washed, hung some things out after supper. Kimmy up here today. Bill didn’t work, he painted the window blinds. He and I went to town, Kim went too. The cows got along well today except they are a little cold. Betty, Walt and kids up tonight on the tractor. Walt built a new body for his tractor-trailer. It is nice.

A fair day, some sun but quite a lot of wind clouds. Today Fern came up, she helped me. We got my living room all clean. Betty had Mary Ann Western for lunch today. She called here and the kids. Kim visited a little while. Bill worked for Gordon in a.m., in p.m. he painted some more window blinds. He put some back that were all done, it looks much better. It is cold tonight.
