August 11, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


August 11, 1963

Sunday, sunny in the am, becoming cloudy and cooler in pm, 68 and low 70’s.  Mary Ann, LaVerne, and Roberta here for dinner.  Cooked steak over charcoal. Called Mother and invited them but they didn’t come.  Girls and I went to church at night, had a chalk artist, Mrs. Paul Mayo.
Comment:  Char-coaling steaks started when LaVerne started working for Timberland Charcoal.  Before that, I only remember frying steaks in a pan on the stove and they were pretty much always well done.  I remember us kids blanching a the sight of a rare steak with bloody-like juices.  This was right around Mary Ann's birthday, August 8, and it might have been a birthday get-together for her.  She didn't mention my name so not sure what's going on.  I might have been hauling charcoal or bark.  Double church Sunday one more time...

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?"
