It didn’t rain much today but it was a cloudy dreary day. Bill and Walt got the rafters on the barn. Lloyd called. Carmen called. Billie went with Lawrence. I didn’t get up till late and done just regular work. Esther and Cliff called at Thena’s. We are having thunder, lightning but as yet no rain.

Monday, July 2, 1973 Phyllis and Cindy, Linda and Amy came

Cloudy and foggy in a.m. Betty, Zak, Kim and I went to Portland. I did shopping for things I needed before the company comes. Called at Dorothea’s, she wasn’t feeling too good. It was very hot and humid. Today Betty, Kennard, Esther and Billie Deming met Phyllis and girls in Portland at the jet port. This past weekend with all the heavy rains it caused floods in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Many people lost their lives.
