Wednesday, June 2, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

June 2, 1965 
Wednesday, cloudy and rainy, 50, most rain in long time.  Finished ironing, took nearly all day.  Went to parsonage at nite to Vacation Bible School meeting.  David home for supper.
Comment:  David back from two day charcoal trip for Timberland.  Now, it's hard to imagine how much work it was for Mom to do the wash and ironing for the ten people in the family. I remember once she had to do all the washing by hand because the washing machine broke,  The washing part was relatively easy but the wringing by hand of the wash was a pretty tough job particularly the heavy denim work shirts and jeans...I remember her commenting on it....

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?"
