Phyllis and Virginia Went to a Baseball Game - Saturday, June 23, 1962

We didn't help with what little hay there was this afternoon since the kids wanted to go to a baseball game at Kalona. As it was, the game was called off because of rain they had over there. Marge and I stayed home and rested. Ann was here, too. Jerolyn stopped for a little while to tell me what she wanted us to do with her wedding gifts. Virginia is staying all night with Bonnie.

Mom Hosted Club Surprise Breakfast - Friday, June 22, 1962

This morning Marge and I went fishing in Cuddebacks' pond. She caught four, Jim two, and I got one. Kenneth and a man who's going to live at their other farm came down just after Marge and I got there and asked if we had our licenses - a moment's scare. Mom had a club surprise breakfast this morning. We made hay this .afternoon.

Marge Will Go Home on a Train - Thursday, June 21, 1962

It rained so we didn't do hay this afternoon. We went to Iowa City to check train schedules. Marge's mother called this morning and said she should be home for a meeting about work at the social center Monday morning so she's leaving Sunday afternoon. We went shopping. I got one of our summer French reading list books and two paperbacks.

Marge Observed Hay Making - Wednesday, June 20, 1962

Marge got a look at hay making today but it turned out to be quite lengthy. We baled from 1:30 to 7:30. This morning she saw some of the farm and West Chester. She met Betty Peters, Norma and Bob. We took a walk. I can see how farm life might seem kind of dull.

We Stopped for Marge at Her Home in Chicago - Tuesday, June 19, 1962

We left Cleveland early this morning and got to Chicago about 1:00. We found Blondin's house without much trouble at all. I should have remembered that Marge had said the last turnoff was a small street and we probably would have been all right the whole way. The kids have been enjoying Marge. They have a nice house in Chicago. We got home about 8:00 tonight.

Visited Daddy's Relatives In and Near Dalton, Ohio - Monday, June 18, 1962

Today we went down to Dalton to visit all of Daddy's relatives. It didn't seem as if it had been three years since we had been down there. Grandma Kay went along with us. I called Patty Holecek tonight. We couldn't think of a whole lot to say. I keep having moody spells. Sometimes I think I'll just have to yell at someone - but when you get this age you're expected to learn to discipline yourself. I need to self-discipline myself more and improve myself.

Went to Terminal Tower Observation Floor - Sunday, June 17, 1962

I called Marge tonight to tell her we'd get her Tuesday around noon. We went to church this morning and met all of Grandma's friends as usual. This afternoon we girls, Daddy, George, Peggy and David rode down on the transit to observe from Terminal Tower. We had a nice fairly clear view. I for one got more out of it this time than I did the last when I was busy taking over a roll of pictures.
