July 15 - 18, 1973

Sunday, July 15, 1973

Showery in early a.m. It cleared late. Bill and Walt worked on the barn. Betty had a cookout, Yates, Crooks and Hortons. It was nice. I didn’t do much today. I went down to Betty’s and helped her to get ready for a cookout. Billie drove Fern around down to Betty’s to see the new barn, chickens etc.

Tuesday, July 17, 1973  Peas, Carmen caught a trout

A very nice day. Betty, Zak and I went to Norway. I came home, done a lot of work. Kimmy went down to Martha Coombs for lunch and the afternoon. Then down to Dale Graffam’s for the night. Carmen and Zenya went fishing. Zenny don’t have the cast on her leg anymore. Carmen caught a trout. She brought it up and gave it to me for my supper. It was delicious. We had our first mess of peas.

Partly cloudy. I done up my work. Betty, Zak and I to Dorothea’s. She went with us and we went shopping for me today. We enjoyed it, we went to Kmart at Falmouth and to Monmouth Mart, Bradlees and Martins. Bill worked at Walt’s. Billie began his trimming. Esther called in evening, also Zak and Kimmy. Kimmy came home from Dale Graffam’s after being there all night. Walt finished shingling the new barn.
