Monday, August 10, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

August 10, 1964
Monday, 70, lovely day, windy, cool.  I did a big wash in am.  Mrs. Seaborg came in pm and I cut 2 jumpers and 1 skirt for her.  She gave me $10.00.  Paul, Norma, and children called, and Norma Ackerly and Timmy here in pm for supper.  I was to go and help Louise with Grandpa at night but she called and said I didn't need to come.  Doug called and asked us to send him $10.00 by wire; it cost over $2.00 to wire.  Too expensive!
Madaline, Doris, Glenny, Clarence, Paul in front
Comment:  Paul Ellis was our first cousin, son of Madaline, Dad's oldest sister who died in her fifties of heart disease.  The $10 Mom earned was worth $96 in today's funds.  Not bad for a couple of hours' work....here is a picture of the Clarence Ellis family on the lawn of the Elmer Hubbard homestead....they are all deceased.

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?"
