Christie not very good today. She drinks a lot of water, don’t eat. A happy surprise late in p.m. Dorothea and Dave came and stayed for supper. Called at Betty’s also. I went down to Betty’s today to stay with the kids while she and Walt helped Bonnie and Jim move into their new home over in the Valley of West Bridgton.

Monday, May 27, 1974 Memorial Day

Well another miserable day. I done up regular work. It was so they could work on the barn and they did. Walt helped Bill and Billie. I picked some dandelions. Betty up here. In late p.m. went down to Betty’s. She had a cookout. Demings, Yates, Crooks and Hortons. Christie is getting so weak. She don’t eat anything.

Well it finally cleared today some or enough so I did my washing. Got them dried, in and ironed and mended. The wind blowed and it was on the cool side. Christie is still not eating. She is very weak. She got outside a few times tho. In p.m. Bill went to Norway to see Mr. Dow, a lawyer, for some information about his property. Betty went with him. She took me to town. The town finally fixed this culvert out in front here today. I got some letters off today.
