January 17, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


January 17, 1963
Cloudy and warm 30’s windy in a.m.  Men fixed the garage and worked on David's car.  I wrote to Marilyn.   Went to all day missionary meeting at Lavilla's.  David and Doug went to Cobleskill  about 3:30 after parts for Davids car.  Girls and I went to Leonards (Reynolds?) to prayer meeting.  LaVerne and Roberta were here while we were gone.
Comment:  I think David's car was a 1957 Plymouth Fury similar to the car below.  I remember seeing this car on a winter morning after David had come home from somewhere.    It was in the winter and the roads were very slippery.  That morning the rear of the car sagged very low to the ground.  David had put a concrete guard rail post in the trunk so he could get up the hills out of North Blenheim and the hills up around Earle's pond.

No comments:

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
