About 10:30 AM the girls came home from school for the beginning of their summer vacation. Carmen will go into the sixth grade next year. Kimberly the third and Zak in kindergarten. In p.m. Betty, Zak, Kim and I went to town. Betty down to Ferns and painted porch rail. Bill got one end of the barn done. Brud, Verna and Cathy came tonight to help Ken and Delores celebrate their 50^th wedding anniversary. Delores said she wasn’t able to do anything, she has been poorly.
