Wednesday, March 28, 1973

A nice day. I went down to Betty’s in a.m. Betty, Bill and I went over to Harrison and Betty got six laying hens for herself. Came home. In p.m. she and Fern went to Mechanic Falls to see where she could get some baby chicks. He told her about a Mrs. Lankins up around or near Farmington. So she called the lady and she will get them tomorrow. Over to see Jean this p.m. She is not any better. More weak and very nervous.

Kind of cloudy. It was not too cold. I got my work done up early, went down to Betty’s while she went to get some hens. Took them down to Dawn’s. Then she got ready and we all went to North Chesterfield Maine, a small town near Farmington to get the baby chicks. She got 30 pullets and 20 roosters. Esther, Fern, Zak and I went with her. It was a nice ride.

Cloudy. About noon it began to clear. It was nice and sunny rest of the day. I went down to Betty’s in a.m. Came home, got ready. I washed my floor. Then when we got ready, went over to Hicks Nursing Home to see Jean. She isn’t at all good. Her mind is bad. Her appetite is not good either. We did the grocery shopping. Betty’s chickens done very well. Didn’t lose any. In evening Esther and Cliff came over. Carmen up for a little while after school.
