Thursday August 14th
Morgan’s picked up washer and dryer ($225) just as Sears arrived at 10:30 to deliver new refrigerator, washer, dryer, microwave, gas range and dishwasher. $2,400. Wes Sharp from Peacock’s out to check what’s needed to install. Terry and Jerry Zacharias out to move my refrigerator to 1022 Toulon just as I finished cleaning it.
No place to cook and Howard upset by the commotion.

Tuesday August 12th
Sold Kenmore range for $125.
Don Adams Remove wall unit above range- shortened it and headed back in place when I got home from work.
Mary and Kenny bought two new TVs and I bought theirs for the trade-in price of $125- just signed the range check over to them. They brought it back from Rice’s Hardware in Waldo and put it in for me.

Sunday August 10th
Don and Agnes first arrivals. Macy, Elmer, Dale and girlfriend and Floy. Eugene & Bee, Mary, Kenny and mother, Fanny, Floy, 3 Zimmerman girls, Kenny and Ann Hemmerly and several of their kids, Lauren and Jesse. Food galore. So hot- 92° but told them Grandma Sheneman’s diary said mother was born on the hottest night she ever spent. David and family arrived about 3 & shortly after we headed to the shop and air conditioning. Marcella and Raymond James in & about eight of their kids and grandkids came there for supper with us. Had been to the James reunions at Mercer.
After all left my family went to Mary’s with mother.
Drove home in a terrible thunderstorm. Almost constant lightning and 1” rain.
