February 10, 1963

Sunday, Twenties, Mostly cloudy. Girls and I went to church and Sunday School. Mary Ann came with Gerald for dinner. Laverne and Roberta came in the afternoon and we went to Middleburg and Cobleskill and went with them to look at cars. Gerald and Mary Ann and us were down there for supper. Wayne and Linda were here. David at Sandy’s.

Comment: Dinner was the noon meal and supper was the evening meal. Not sure who Lilliane is and why they were looking at cars. The Flat Creek Baptist Church was a major part of Mom and the girl's lives. They usually went to church on Sundays, stayed for Sunday school, then went to a prayer meeting sometime during the week. The oldest three, LaVerne, Marilyn, and I, were "saved" at a young age, Marilyn at 11, me at about the same age, and I don't remember about LaVerne. These were full immersion baptisms held at a pool at the end of a culvert by Halleck's. We used to go swimming there quite often in the summer.
