Tuesday, September 7, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Tuesday, September 7, 1965
The first day of school.  Beautiful day,warm, mostly 80 degrees.  I washed in am, picked cucs, made pickles and cleaned wood house.  Girls went to school at noon.  Had letter from Marilyn.
Comment:  Another busy day...Carol and Susan on a  first day of school a long time ago...notice the dog in the upper right..I think that's our first dog, Prince, who fell out of the tower and broke his left rear leg and hip.....he was given to us by an old woman who had about 6 puppies, but recommend this one because of the wide space between his ears...she said this was a sign of greater intelligence...seems like her name was Mrs. Newkirk and lived over on Stone Store Road around the old Haskin homestead.  She was all crippled up and could barely walk.....

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?"
