House looked pretty well cleaned up this AM & since Kathy slept at Mothers & so wasn’t here to pester David I took the morning off & wrote some poor verse. But got to keep in practice!
Took David to Mother’s at noon & on up town. Got a heavy Scotch Tape dispenser. Now I can get busy on those pressed specimens. Saw Florence & her mother. Everybody is raring over raise in taxes. On our house went from $19 to $21 or something like that.
Troop Development Committee meeting at Scout office – was assigned Oak & Mark to kinda look out for.
Met Wally at bank & we shopped for groceries. Managed to keep it down to $5.11. Thins are coming down, though. He had to give me an extra $10 on this new budget. A $13 milk bill (month) knocked heck out of the $15 that’s supposed to do me (+ rent money).
Ping ponged on mother when we got kids. Man from Equitable Ins. here in evening offering Wally job as an agent. Read book on annuals from library & yearned over seed catalogs.
