(1994 September)
Quite a to-do one night when a Bat got through the front door, but finally a maintenance man got it. Oh dear.

Copy Cubs
(1951 September 29)
The Cub Scouts in two packs, Lions and Kiwanis, should be judged more on originality than copying an idea faithfully. As it is, the boy who adheres to the pattern of the ashtray the closest gets the prize, while the cub who puts himself into his work gets docked. This ain't right.

Odd jobs
(1994 October)
Have been talking to Jerry who works here when he isn't working for AB. Told about butchering 40 of their chickens. Chopped off heads and hung them on a tree limb, then slit down and stripped off skin, feathers and all. Then wife cans them and did 40 quarts today. In Canada where they lived before here they killed a lot of quail, driving them against a wall and wringing their necks! He wrote down his name ... [in German but he is] Swiss. He is short and pleasant and has had many jobs including showing Mark Twain's house to tourists but says Betsy Thatchers's house is more of a show house and in better condition. He doesn't like to work at AB very well - so noisy with big sheets of metal banged on, etc.

Pen problems
(1994 Thanksgiving)
This pen is BIC but may be ready to discard. ... Sherry is nervous because I haven't sent Sally some money. I thought (threw pen in waste basket and hope this is better) (not much) (idea for Xmas). If I can find check book and pen, I'll send a check today in this letter. ... Well, I'll try to finish with this BIC. [11 more lines follow.]

Sleepy Time Gal
(1994 October)
We are going to have a Halloween party after lunch, 1 p.m. I am thinking of wearing bathrobe and slippers and carrying a candlestick if I can find one, and be "Sleepy Time Gal." Something easy.

Country Kitchen
(1994 October)
Jen and I to Country Kitchen for tea this afternoon. She had pie - I think it was huckleberry - and I had pumpkin a la mode. We thought it was too heavy and next time we would have buttered toast with tea.
