Monday, October 14, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


October 14, 1963
Monday, beautiful day, 67, warm.  I did a big wash.  David started work with Clifton. at Jefferson again.  Doug went to Middleburgh in am after roofing and tar for garage.
Comment: Doug must be home on leave for a while. Keeping the roofs repaired was a never ending job. I remember putting out pots and pans to catch the water in the living room of the house when it rained really hard.  
The garage was rebuilt from an old chicken house that used to be behind the barn. Here is a picture of us boys working on it probably in about 1954......

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?"
