A beautiful day, very mild and warm. I done my work up early and went down to Betty’s. We cleaned her house, windows and all for the winter. It looks nice.

Thursday, October 24, 1974 Sunny

Colder than the past two days but not too bad. Clear and sunny. I did a wash. I didn’t have to go down to Betty’s for anything. Her house looks nice if she can keep it this way.

In evening I went down to Fern’s while Billie and Lloyd got haircuts. Esther was there too.
