Friday, November 26, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaires
Friday, November 26, 1965
Cloudy, 30's, rain at nite. I washed, girls did house work and I made navy dress for Carol. Looked for Gerald and Mary Ann at nite, but they called 8 pm and said Gerald had to work Saturday and they couldn't come. Doug and Louise came about 8 pm, she picked him up in Kingston.
Comment: Guess we're missing Thanksgiving day weekend but I'm probably getting time and a half for working Saturday. I was on salary at Ford, but because they were afraid of a salary union, they paid their salary people overtime if they worked more than forty hours. Doug keeps riding that train from Norfolk to Kingston just about every weekend. Not bad duty....we were all so lucky during that time. Vietnam war and racial unrest cranking up, and we just kept on skating through it all....hardly knowing the turbulent sixties were going on.....
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?"
