August 22, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


August 22, 1963
Thursday, lovely day,  upper 70’s, clear.  I picked peas, cucumbers and made pickles.  Clifton home about 4:30.  Carol and I went to prayer meeting at night.  Wayne was to take cows to Oneonta but couldn’t find them.


Comment:  Damned cows gone again.  Garden must be coming in.  Weekly prayer meeting.  Dad didn't work ten or twelve hours..... and in 1902 on this date President Theodore Roosevelt became the first US President to ride in an automobile, in Hartford Conn.  POTUS in a car, cops and secret service on bikes and horses.....

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?"
