Friday, October 18, 1974 VERY COLD, PAID TAXES, ZAK GLASSES

A fair day. It was very cold. Bill put the plates on to the station wagon and Betty and I went to Dorothea’s. We came home early. Bill hauled the chicken coops of Betty’s away. Zak got his glasses tonight. He looks good with them. Esther stayed with Zak while we went away. Kim up here for supper. Carmen had a girlfriend up after school, they rode Ebony. We went out for dinner with the Hortons and a beautiful card from Dorothea.

Sunday, October 20, 1974 VERY COLD

It has been a very cold day. I done up my regular work. Billie helped Lawrence get the cattle home from the Roger Dunn pasture. Lawrence isn’t very good, quite upset over the cattle situation. Esther, Cliff and I down to Fern’s in evening. Esther took a cake down for Fern. Bill didn’t do anything today. I’ve had this stomach trouble for over a week now. Hope it goes away soon.
