Wednesday, October 30, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


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..........

No comments:

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?"
