Kathi called to tell me no papers from Don yet. Told her Bob Stout send another letter to him yesterday.
JoAnn McAndrew brought son Booby out to spend day with Dave. she & other kids stayed to watch rocket launches. Boys went across river to retrieve one – didn’t find. They played Intellivision, submarine search & finished levelling the shack.
I worked in my room – sorting things into filing cabinet – when I wasn’t cooking.
Dave’s actions today a big disappointment. He feels he has to “show off” when anyone else is around. He does this by being obnoxious. Comes on with Don’s insolent look and expressions. When I watched Boob eat and compared Dave’s uncouth behavior I was ashamed for him. Told him to either cut his spaghetti or wind it around his fork but he continued to suck it in. Was insulted when I asked him to use his napkin to wipe sauce off his mouth and wore his hat to the table. When I asked him to remove it he said “This ain’t no restaurant, why do I have to take it off?”. I said “My home is more important than a restaurant and we will show respect here.”
Took Bobby home at 7:00. Dropped off committee list for Imogene. Went to Mary’s to baby sit so Mary could get away.
