My journal entry for Tuesday, June 25, 1968
I bet you've already guessed it—I got up this morning and had breakfast. 100% correct.
Dad had me take the Schoenthaler's clunker to town after Doug—much against my will. I stopped at the filling station for milk, too.
Rain was coming down pretty good when we got home, so the Green Valley crew spent the day cleaning up the shops.
Doc Johnson came down to doctor the sick cow over east. He, Dad, and I took the pickup over, and roped the cow. She has pneumonia, I think. We came in for coffee and talked quite a while about the stock market, politics, etc.
Dad welded and made some shelves and hooks for the east wall of the shop. Doug, Lloyd, and I sorted junk until dinner time. I snoozed a little then.
The rain kind of let up in the afternoon, but it was really cool. We got about ¾ inch of rain.
We spent the afternoon like the morning—cleaning out shops. I worked in the little red one.
Mom and my sisters were going to girl's 4-H. They didn't want to take the clunker car, so Sybil came down to the machine shed to drive the pickup to the house. When she got there, she forgot to leave it in gear. The outfit rolled backwards, and broke out a space between two doors in the new garage.
We worked until 7:00. Then Lloyd grained the bulls, Sandra fed the calf, and I rode Sassy bareback to get in the cows for their calves to suck.
I spent the evening writing to guys having mules for sale.
