Wednesday, October 3, 1990 Eyes tested for glasses

 

Nice and sunny today. I went to the eye doctor to get my eyes tested for the glasses. It has been a very nice sunny mild day. I didn’t do much today. Carmen came and got the supper and other things she did. Billie, Betty, Carmen up helping to get the fence put up. Also Brogan up there having a ball with the kittens, hens etc. She loves it up there. Walt’s getting ready to go up to get the dock back. Also packed to go to see Zack tomorrow. Carmen took me to the eye doctor. Also did the shopping and wrapped the birthday gifts. How can I get along without her willing and helping hand? Billie too.

 

 

 

Thursday, October 4, 1990 Betty got first egg this morning. Walt gone to see Zack

 

 

This morning Walt and Betty left home at about 5:30 to go to the airport where Walt will take a plane to go to see Zack. I’m so glad. After all he hasn’t seen any of his next of kin for such a long time. I’d give 1 million to lay my eyes on him too. He will arrive there about 10:15. Anxious to hear what Walt will find out. Betty called in on way back from airport, brought Dunkin’ Donuts. David came, he had some. Carmen didn’t get up until afterwards. She had an appointment at the doctor. Brogan at her grandmothers. Billie got 20 bales of hay sold this morning to Bruce Campbell and 20 to Betty. Walt called home about 10:30 PM.

 

 

 

Friday, October 5, 1990

 

A beautiful day. I washed, made cocoa. Got most of the magazines and papers read. Then all hands worked at the shelter today putting up fencing etc. Billie, Betty, Carmen and Brogan and David did. Carmen get the supper and wash the floor. If it hadn’t been for David’s help they couldn’t have got the fence done.
