Wednesday, 22 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Wednesday, 22 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Wednesday, partly cloudy, cool in am, 50's.  Doug went with Gerald to Laceyville, PA with charcoal.  Boys drew water for the well.  Girls and I went to prayer meeting.  Mr. Mayo started ceiling of church, had it half done. 
Comment: Laceyville,  PA was about 260 mile round trip so I would get paid about $21 for a trip that would take from 8 to ten hours.  Not bad money back then.  The boys pumped water from the "Spring Lot" and the lot seemed always in our perceptions because it was one of the first sights as we walked out the door.  Here is my memories of it performed by son David Hubbard:  Hubbard Music Mountain: The Spring Lot by Gerry Hubbard, David Hubbard Per...:

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?"
