July 16, 1963
Tuesday, mild day, 75. I did a big wash in am. Girls went to Merle's in the pm to ride horses. I visited with Ella. Melody’s parents came after her 4 pm.
Comment: Ella and Mom were always very good friends, probably dealing with a couple of Hubbard men for all those years developed a deep commiseration and empathy between them. They would often talk on the phone and Aunt Ella was quite active in the Missionary Meetings. Aunt Ella seemed like she was always in a good mood and would always whip out her chocolate cake for us kids when we dropped in. During WWII, I remember being at their house during the "blackouts". We would sit around in the dark with just one candle or so with all the windows covered so potential German bombers could not target us. Great Uncle John, Elmer's brother, was the Air Raid Warden for our area and would drive and walk around checking for light sources. Here is a picture of Mom and Aunt Ella...
