Friday, June 13, 1975

It rained so hard all day, some wind. I went to town, done some shopping. It has been such a miserable day. Bill didn’t do much, late in the p.m., it stopped raining and the grass dried so Bill mowed. Late tonight Joy and girls all came. Laurie and Debbie stayed up here. They have left Topsham. Going to Bermuda for three years.

Another miserable day all day. I done up my regular work. Debbie and Laurie up early. Debbie went back to Topsham with her mother. Laurie stayed at Betty’s with the two little girls. Esther, Zak and I went to Westbrook to get the cake at Dorothea’s that she made for Billie Deming’s party. Zak here all day and stayed up here tonight.
