A pretty good day, quite mild. I done regular work, washed windows, cleaned up the house some. Made a pie, cooked a spare ribs supper, onions, shell beans etc. Had Fern and Lloyd up. They enjoyed it very much. They stayed till 9:30. Bill helped Betty today, got her big rock out of her yard. Also worked on her desk. In p.m. he and I went to see Jean. She still isn’t good. She has a long way to come to get back. This morning Betty got a phone call from Thelma. Grandpa Boutilier died. He is Mike’s father. Carmen and Kimberly’s grandfather. Betty and the girls may go to the funeral.
