Sunday, May 4, 1975 hauled manure out

What a miserable day, cloudy, misty and late in p.m. rain. I done my bureau draws and Billie’s. Also cleaned the draws and in cupboards in blue bathroom and ironed. About 4 PM I left to go to Portland with Betty, Carmen and Zenya. They went to a banquet at the Eastland Motor Hotel. A Humane Society meeting. They had a very good time. Betty took Dorothea and me out to supper at Denny’s Restaurant where Jeff works. It was a very nice meal. Dorothea talked and told us a lot of going ons. Billie and Billie hauled the manure out. It took all day.

Ready for the Banquet

I did some washing early this morning. Then went down to Betty’s. Cleaned the girls bedrooms, dark bedroom, hall and the bathroom. Betty did a lot of washing also. Bill started painting the kitchen ceiling at Betty’s. Bill and Billie cleaned up out around the place, ditches etc., down the stonewall also cut down some old dead trees etc. Tonight Ilan cut some of those old evergreen trees out here on the wall. It looks so much better. Been thinking of Dorothea a lot today. Down to the hospital to see Robert tonight. He don’t look too good. Also Bert Downey was there, she had just brought Howie down to enter the hospital.
