January 16, 1963: The Frances Hubbard Diaries


January 16, 1963
Wed Partly Cloudy and Cold -8 to 12 above.  I worked on Sues dress  Clifton,  Doug and David put stove up in garage and boys went to Middleburg after wire and wall board for garage.  Gerald called at night and said he and Mary Ann would be here Sunday for dinner,  David took our car and went to Roxbury.
Comment:  Wow, another cold day.  I can imagine getting up in the morning in that old house when it was -8 degrees.  I think David was going to Roxbury to see a girl.  
The garage was reconstructed from the old second  barn and chicken house that used to stand behind the big red barn.  This  picture is dated from probably 10 years earlier in 1953.    All five boys and Dad are working on the garage.  From left to right:  LaVerne, David standing behind Wayne, Doug, Gerald, Clifton J.

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?"
