(1987 May 1)
Let's dance around the maypole! Only let it be quickly, as I fear I am coming down with a cold, but not too far down, I hope. Feeling raspish throat but not bad enough to keep me from the Shampoo Chair.

This little church
(1986 October 1)
Don't complain to me about too many clubs to go to! You start the young early, too. -- Well, I used to belong to two or three but no more - free as a bird. Except for church, and that may go too. This little church [St. Barnabas] was meant to be chaste and free from everything that might clutter it up. Now we have shades on the windows, flags, these big banners, and now Mrs. Saloutas in honor of Louie is giving us ceiling fans. So there goes the architechture and all LL's research. I just may not be able to face them and quit. Louie has already defaced the yard by the erection of this bell tower suitable for a monastery.

Deac on Dan
(1987 early August)
Sunday. Church with Deacon Dan - as Morning Prayer has been discarded, we now have a bastard service of some kind. Then down for drinks, iced tea - and home with D.D. to visit Fr. Meyer and bring him Holy Communion. ... Fr. Meyer very strict and no speech while having The Bread, but D.D. says he "has no problem" with this and OK to talk.

Hitchhiker
(1987 early August)
In Schulz [dime store], Kathryn started feeling weak and still wanted to go to Super Value [grocery], so asked a clerk if she would drive her there if she were getting out of work soon!!! Clerk said No. Then Edy Symons, owner Indian Hollow Green House, took her to Super Value, gave her a ride home - carried her groceries up the [long flight of] steps! And Kathryn, instead of feeling ashamed of asking, just feels she was very lucky to get rides. How she can.

Piano
(1987 early August)
I called Kathryn Bailey to see how she is standing this terrible heat and found far better than I. One day 92 degrees she walked to town and went in the cool stores. She took a fancy to go in a music store she had rarely been in - she makes a point of going in every new store "to get acquainted" - so she finally came home having purchased a small organ (batteries). She let herself be talked into it and has been kicking herself ever since. Luckily she took piano lessons when young, so she can at least twiddle and produce "effects." (Daddy could play so well and never a lesson. Alfred yes & Lee no.) So sally may use piano all her life.

Monitor
(1987 early August)
I have decided to have a Monitor thru which I can notify hospital which will notify friend if I signal for help in case of falling. I must ask half a dozen friends. Do I have that many friends?

Heat wave
(1987 early August)
HOT & HUMID. A hot moist air from gulf of Mexico. ... I barely exist in this heat. And unless it clears off for a good week by August 10, you must not come. The upstairs is an oven. At night I think I'll open the doors to cool off the house, but hotter outside.
