Sunday, cool, mostly sunny. Sue and I went to Church and Sunday School and over to Prattsville after Carol. LaVerne and Roberta went to Paul and Norma's.
Comment: Paul and Norma's is Paul Ellis and his wife, son of Madeline and Clarence Ellis, the oldest child in the Elmer Hubbard family and also the first to die in 1955 of heart disease at the age of 51. Here is a picture in the early fifties of her, my mother and Winifred, the youngest child in the family of eight. Not sure what the occasion was but the whole family was there. Paul was a New York State Trooper and also flew for them for a while. Probably got his interest in airplanes from his brother Glendon who was in the Army Air Corp during WWII. Glennie, as we called him died of a heart attack in 1973 at the age of 43.....

Saturday, Memorial Day. Fair and warmer, 50's. Carol still at Mary O'hara's. Wayne worked for LaVerne. Clifton fixed wood house floor and I did some painting on the house. Boys went out at night. Dougie called about 8:30 and Carol called asked to stay until Sunday.
Comment: Seems basically a work day, probably Carol saw a parade in Prattsville, but nothing ever happened in Gilboa...the previous year's diary, Mom says that Carol played in the band in the parade and the family went to the parade....http://gerryhubbard.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-30-1963-frances-hubbard-diaries.html

Friday, cloudy, real cool, windy, 52 high. The boys, Clifton, and I started to paint the house. Had letter from Marilyn. We cleaned the wood house and I washed. Carol went home with Mary O'Hara after school.
Comment: The house was never painted until I was in my mid-teens and I don't remember the first time it was painted. Here is how it looked in the early forty's....it deteriorated after that until the mid-fifties when Dad started to make some money on construction jobs thanks to Eisenhower's Interstate Highway System which brought us out of the post-Korean War recession...how come we can't do something like that now? Hmmm

Thursday, cool, mostly cloudy. Clifton didn't work and we went to Mother's for dinner and did some shopping in Cobleskill; bought paint and hardware for the house. Called on Papa and Billy. LaVerne and Roberta here in evening. I forgot about prayer meeting.
Comment: Papa was, of course, Clarence Barber, my mom's father. Billy was my mother's mother's sister and therein lies a tale that's been told before.....In 2011 I returned to Papa's farm and Kelsy Hill and pictures of the old homestead. The only structure that remained true to my memory was the barn pictured here...For the story of Papa, Billy, Bessie and Norm go here: http://gerryhubbard.blogspot.com/2005/06/susans-memories-of-her-mother_25.html

Sunday, beautiful day, hot, 80's. Girls and I went to church and Sunday School. We drove LaVerne's truck over to Earl's in pm and to the lake and got a beautiful bouquet of pinksters. Girls and I went to church at night. Mr and Mrs. Hershey there from Grand Gorge. Rain in the night, cooler. LaVerne and Roberta up at night.
Comment: Our family called the pink and white flowers "pinksters" and they grew wild through out the mountains around Hubbard Hill. They really are Pinxterbloom Azaleas and are found in the lower Appalachians from Massachusetts to Georgia. We use to take many drives in mid spring to see and pick them along the fire roads through the hills....

Wayne, Sue stayed at LaVerne's. Clifton, Carol and I went to Stamford after another pump part. Clifton worked on it nearly all day and it still didn't work. David went to prom at Roxbury at night.
Comment: Grant "Wild Bill" Schemerhorn was a construction superintendent and probably wanted to talk to Dad about some work. His two younger boys were friends of Doug and David and his older boy was a friend of LaVerne's. Wild Bill was the first in the area to have a tv and Dad and us kids used to drop in and watch "rassling" on his black and white tv.
Two trips for water pump parts as they tried to get water from the well into the house. Here is a picture of how David might have looked going to the prom:

Friday, high cloudiness and windy but much warmer, 73. I washed in am. Mr. Kandora over in am for David to fix tractor and plows and plow for him. David mowed some lawn.
Comment: Mr. Kandora bought the Elmer Hubbard homestead from Uncle Earl and tried to do some farming. He always bought used equipment that barely worked. The first year he owned it, LaVerne and I did the "haying" for him with his old New Holland baler and I think, a John Deere tractor. It did not go well with equipment breaking down all the time and with lots of rain that summer. We wound up burning the windrows of the last field to complete the job because the hay had rotted. Mr. Kandora was always very jovial and civil but was pretty much completely lost around the farm. Here is a video of a similar baler being demonstrated: Take a look...lots of work and dangerous as hell with all the exposed pulleys, augers and belts.....would betcha' some limbs were lost in the history of that machine.....

Wednesday, cloudy, rain, am clearing and becoming windy and much cooler, 50's. David and I went to Cobleskill with Earl's car, he and Lillian went to Cooperstown with Grandpa and Louise.
Comment: Uncle Earl always had pretty nice cars. Being a bachelor for most of his life, he could afford pretty much any car he wanted. The one I remember the best was a 1953 Mercury Monterey hard-top convertible. He drove me to Fort Devens, Massachusetts in one just like this before I shipped out to the language school in Monterey..... same colors too....

Comment: Lot's going on..here is a picture of Barry (James) Taylor on his ship......I think he was a pirate....note his sidearm and mustache..looks like someone to be reckoned with..... His younger brother Glenn Taylor died less than a month ago in April of 1964 at 21 of kidney disease so it was probably not a very happy visit. Barry died in 2020.

Comment: This is a picture of that room after it was turned into a laundry room and sewing room after all the kids had left.....not very big for a bedroom and I remember I and the other boys, David, Doug or Wayne sleeping there in one three quarter sized bed..at least it was warm in the winter....I also remember Marilyn, LaVerne and I as quite young kids singin cowboy songs in bed until our mother came in and shushed us. The song that sticks in my mind is "When The Works All Done This Fall" Take a listen....we would sing this song for hours...

Comment: The garden was a pretty big deal and we used the tractor to plow and cultivate the plants. Here is what Socrates Hubbard said about his garden in the hills looking over Livingstonville about a 100 years or so prior:

Comment: To Cobleskill for unemployment then to Richmondville for "dinner". Here is a black and white picture of the lawn facing east. Sometimes we would use the mower on the tractor when it got too long or we did not have a lawn mower for some reason.....

Comment: And another weeks starts....the walk was gravel when I was a small child and evolved to field stone. The ditch probably washed out the lower part so Dad is fixing it with concrete. Here is a picture of the walk with Carol and Susan on Susan's first day of school. In the background you can see the concrete blocks bordering the walk. In the background is a large dog I think is Prince, the one that fell off the tower and broke his hip and leg.....

Comment: Another beautiful day on the hill. Barn swallows are amazing fliers and I always loved watching them....here is what I said about them in one of my Songpoemstories:
"Swallows from the barn would swoop and dive to dine in flight
Their slate-blue wings would flash and gleam with flicking, glinting lights."
Here are swallows drinking on-the-wing. I saw a video of one, while roosting during rain, catch individual rain drops.....
