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..........
