Saturday, May 12, 1973 JEAN’S FUNERAL, mowed lawns first time

This morning the sun came out. It seems so good to see it after about four days of rain and clouds. Billie felt better but awful weak. He trimmed the grass and Bill mowed some lawns. I done up the housework. Baked beans, made a cake, did a big wash. Went to town, did a dite of shopping. About noon Dorothea’s folks came. We all got ready and went to Jean’s funeral at the Congregational Church at 2 PM. There were quite a lot of people. She had a very pretty casket and looked good. After the funeral we went to Gordon’s house. Came home, Dorothea called to see Betty’s house, it is beautiful. Dorothea likes it so well. They were here for supper. Betty and Zak up after supper. Carmen called on a girlfriend this weekend. Nothing showed up on Billie’s x-rays. Jeff, David, Dorothea, Bill, Betty, Walt and I all went to the funeral.

Sunday, May 13, 1973 finished fencing, Billie better

Partly cloudy, on the cool side today. Billie, Walt and Betty finished their fencing. It is a good one too. Bill finished mowing lawns and worked down cellar. I washed and did all the ironing. I cleaned and done my refrigerator. Fern, Lloyd called in PM. It cleared off good in late p.m. Walt don’t feel too good, he got tired out. Betty had a nice Mother’s Day. Betty and Zak came up and called and brought me $10 for Mother’s Day. Dorothea called. Today Billie feels much better.
