Friday, May 29, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 29, 1964
Friday, cloudy, real cool, windy, 52 high.  The boys, Clifton, and I started to paint the house.  Had letter from Marilyn.  We cleaned the wood house and I washed.  Carol went home with Mary O'Hara after school.
Marilyn, Gerald, LaVerne, 1942 or so
Comment: The house was never painted until I was in my mid-teens and I don't remember the first time it was painted. Here is how it looked in the early forty's....it deteriorated after that until the mid-fifties when Dad started to make some money on construction jobs thanks to Eisenhower's Interstate Highway System which brought us out of the post-Korean War recession...how come we can't do something like that now? Hmmm
