August 8 - 10, 1975

Friday, August 8, 1975

It rained when we got up this morning and rained about all night. About 10 o’clock it cleared and got quite hot. I done my work up. Then we went to a few barn sales in a.m. Came home, ate a bite and Bill went with us and we went to a few more garage and barn sales. Bill went too. He enjoyed it. We got a bike today for Vince. Esther paid for it.

A beautiful day. Nice and sunny. I done some cooking, bread, rolls, cookies, cake and baked some white beans. At suppertime we went down to Betty’s and all ate together. David came up to the garage, he ate with us and seemed to enjoy it all. We had a good time. They brought Tulip up here tonight. David got some vegetables to take home. Joy and her Uncle Wendell and kids called. It is Blanche’s brother. Laurie is staying with Carmen till they get ready to go.

Sunday, August 10, 1975 Hotter

A very nice and sunny day. I done up my regular work. I washed, cleaned the house up. Billie and I cleaned the kitchen screens. Billie went with Lawrence picking up cattle. Betty called, kids came up for a little while. Betty, Walt and children entertained at a cookout. Their guests were Dawn, Ed, Dawn’s two brothers and their children. They had a good time. I’m glad at last they had someone except the Crooks, Yates and Thomases and Demings. Esther over in evening. Cliff down to Naples to the band concert, he played with the B band.
