Daddy over this morning bringing the resst of our pork from the locker so there will be room for the beef he got Saturday. Sorted clothes, etc.
Took the kids to mother’s while we went to Romines. Since David hadn’t had a nap thought he would go to sleep early but too many new things & he was up until 10.
The Romines are painting walls & ceiling of dining room & living room so their house was all messed up. Played ping pong mostly but Ray & I had a nice chat about Emily Dickinson – I’m reading “Bolts of Melody” the last of her verse to be published. Some of it is terrible and other superb. Everybody still bests me. Got 5 points on Florence & did beat Wally once. But Ray & I took them in doubles. Flo servied date torte with whipped cream. Delicious. Home about 11. Picked up David & left Kathy sleeping on mother’s davenport for the night.
