November 5 - 8, 1974

Tuesday, November 5, 1974 ELECTION DAY

It has rained all day. Zak up here again this a.m. Betty to her group meeting. I done some cupboards today. I had planned to wash. Bill up to camp this p.m. I was down to Betty’s in a.m. till she went away. Carmen up here for supper. She is a nice girl. Hope she will understand and be wise enough in this tough world and common sense enough to keep herself good and innocent. Also the other two as they get older. Had some a Betty’s ham for supper (delicious). Today was election day. A new governor, an independent, James Longley.

Another dreary rainy day. I didn’t do much. Betty came up and we cleaned the glass cupboards in the kitchen. It looks much better. Bill home all day. They got Ilan’s cellar floor in today.

Friday, November 8, 1974 Carmen to her first dance tonight, Zak and Kim got school pictures

A nice day. Up, got the work done. Betty and I went to Portland. We called at Dorothea’s. Dave was there. They seem so very happy. She was the same as she used to be. Betty did quite a lot of shopping, Christmas. I got some groceries. I washed the bed spread this morning. Tonight Carmen went to her first dance (school). She had a good time, was very excited about it. Zenya was going but hurt her foot again. Kim and Zak got their school pictures. They are very good. Betty, Walt and Zak called in evening.
