October 30, 1963
Wednesday, 25 - 33, cold, cloudy and windy. David and I went to Cobleskill shopping. Wrote to Marilyn and Doug. Grandpa, Louise, Lillian and Bob here a few minutes in afternoon. David tried to fix kitchen light but it didn't work, blew bulb.
Comment: Earl still in the hospital so Lillian and Bob are alone. David's got some wires crossed somewhere. The way that old house was wired, it's a miracle it did not burn down. Pennies in fuses, exposed junctions in the attic, extension cords all over the place. Here is how the attic looked: That's insulation hanging from the rafters and wiring running to the hot water heater in the rear..........
