Saturday, July 23, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

July 23, 1964
Saturday, still overcast, but cooler, way dry.  Clifton, the girls, and I went to Grand Gorge in am after birthday gift for mother.  Boys all went out at night but Gerald, he had to work.  We took Wayne's car and went to Papa's and Billie's in the evening.  Mother and Norm over.  I took a birthday cake and ice cream for Mother's birthday, July 27.
Comment:  Mother, Bessie Laraway Barber Van Tassel, was born July 27 1892, and died March 14, 1989, at 97.  She was 72 in 1964, eleven years younger than I am now.  Somehow that's kind of eerie......here she is playing 42 with us on the hill.......

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?"
