Wednesday, 7th Day - 358 Days to Follow
Some warmer today.
Don had car trouble so was late for chores today.
I hasn't done much today. Too lazy.
Wrote to Dorothy this morning.
Happy home late coming.
Carol Jane here this evening.
This is Viola's birthday.
I ironed today.
I should mention that I am not changing my Grandmother's spelling as it's says much about who she was as while she was considered educated, the education lacked much back then. I will ad comments as needed to help in understanding her posts. These comments will be in [brackets].
My sister Carol Jane, mentioned in today's entry, is the eldest of Don and Florence (Hill) Arbuthnot's four children. She and my brother Darold lived with our parents on a farm on Niwot Road, west of where my Dad's parents (Fred and Margie Arbuthnot) lived. Dad was not sent off to college like his brother Ken was, because his parents didn't want him to leave as they needed him to help out on the farm. Poor dad was deathly allergic to alfalfa and in 1944, left farming and moved into Boulder, just in time for Carol Jane to start school. She began in Kindergarten at Whittier Elementary in the fall of 1944. Ms. Anderson was her teacher. She was a special teacher as she was the only teacher in all of our 13 years in Boulder schools who had all four of us kids, including Dale and myself.
