Wednesday, January 26, 1966 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Wednesday, January 26, 1966
Cold and partly cloudy 20.  I had sick headache all day.  LaVerne's and Wayne's here for supper, had pancakes and sausage.  David drew mail for Wayne.  Clifton was called to go to work as oiler at Oneonta on Thursday.  Had letter from Gerald and Mary Ann.  David's lessons and materials came from Chicago tech college.  Had trouble with lights, main fuse blew...
Comment:  Nothing wrong with breakfast for supper....must have been "fit to eat"....excerpt from Hubbard Hill Memories: 

In the fall we’d often kill a pig and hang it from a tripod rig and gut it out to take inside to treat.

When mom would cook the tenderloin with home made pancakes we’d all join in dining on a meal called “ fit to eat”.

And the rhythm of the family filled our veins,

And the autumn breezes hummed in soft refrain.

Then we laid on the grassy lawn to look at stars until we’d yawn then go to sleep and start it all again. Take a listen....
