Thursday, 57th Day - Days to Follow
Written by Margie Arbuthnot
Down to zero this morning.
Didn't warm up very much today.
I canned meat - Dad & Don to Longmont this P.M.
Don made a down payment of a Ford tractor.
Donnie went to Loren H[ornbakers].
After school, Loren came home with him for a while.
Remember those days of when you would run over to your friend's home, and they would come to yours? Margie's grandson had a good friend in his classmate Loren Hornbacker. You can see on this map from 1940 that the family lived very close to each other. Not in the sense that folks live close to each other in town, but as in terms as the next farm over. All Donnie had to do to get to where the Hornbacker's lived, was to go across his grandparent's farm, cross through his Great-Uncle Will's farm, jump the ditch and the creek, and he would be at his best friend's house.
Also, remember back when in a previous entry, the Poppy farm is mentioned when new neighbors had moved there? Well here is where the Poppe farm was located, at the corner of 63rd and Oxford Road.
