Virginia Started Organ Lessons - Monday, June 11, 1962

We went in to do the wash this afternoon. I bought a cute bright colored shorts and blouse set and, for Jerolyn's wedding, a silver tray. This morning (after I finally got up about 10:00) I planted my flower seeds from Mrs. Cowan. Virginia started her organ lessons from Mrs. Helcher at the church.

Relatives Came for Dinner - Sunday, June 10, 1962

We had Grandma and Grandpa and Cuddebacks here for dinner. Parcells weren't able to come. After dinner we kids went out to Cuddebacks' pond to fish but we didn't get a single bite. Jim and Larry each pulled in a frog. I ran into a snake in the corn field while we were looking for worms. It was a bull snake but it sure looked like a copperhead or rattlesnake. We had some storm activity this afternoon, but it was pretty out this evening.

Tried Writing to Mr. Larson About My D - Saturday, June 9, 1962

I wish I hadn't gotten that D in music. It bothers me. I tried writing a letter to Mr. Larson. I guess it would be alright to write and ask him what I did wrong so I won't get any more D's. I wrote to Marge and told her we could get her a week from Monday on our way back from Cleveland. I mowed grass this afternoon. We saw what we think was a small tornado cloud west of West Chester. Denise has a cute little raccoon.

We Had Bible School Programs and Exhibits - Friday, June 8, 1962

I'm glad the Bible School week is over. This year they decided to have individual class programs and exhibits on Friday night rather than the combined one at the school on Sunday night. It was so much nicer, and this way they stayed in their own classes Friday afternoon. We went out to pick more strawberries tonight.

A D in Music Made Me Cry - Thursday, June 7, 1962

I went to Jerolyn's shower at the Grace Hill community building tonight. It was nice and she got a good selection of gifts. I got my grades today and I had to cry because I got a D in music. I don't think I deserved it. I attended many of the recitals and concerts and wrote reports for extra credit. My other grades were French and world lit, B, phys ed and anatomy, C. Daddy liked his birthday presents.

Picking and Freezing Strawberries - Wednesday, June 6, 1962

We went to town for a little while after Bible School. I got some new white heels (hope they're not too high), socks for Daddy for his birthday and a set of eight blue drinking glasses for Jerolyn's shower tomorrow night. Here at home they were doing strawberries all day and we went back out to Grandma's to pick some more at chore time.

First Graders Can't Take Their Time - Tuesday, June 5, 1962

We went to the drive-in tonight. Their usual double feature ("Tammy, Tell Me True" and "Wake Me When It's Over") proved to be quite lengthy. I gave the lesson this afternoon in Bible School. They made their hand puppets. Those kids just can't take their time, but they are cute. When they couldn't think of "Abraham and Lot" one of them came up with "Abraham and Lincoln."
