Wednesday, April 3, 1974 a beautiful day

A beautiful day. This is been a very nice warm and sunny day. I got my clothes out early. Went down to Betty’s, we cleaned the bureau draws in Carmen’s room. Then it was so nice and warm, we cleaned the shed chamber. My ankle quite lame and stiff. I slipped outside this morning. Checks came today, we had the increase today. What a help that will be. Another increase coming in July.
