Friday. I rode to Tulsa with George Caudle and spent
a week at Graydon’s. K.M. called that
Letty had thrombosis behind her right eye and had gone to Barnes hospital.

Saturday. Evening we visited with Kathryn and saw their
new home.
The only Kathryn I can think of would be Kathryn Carney Coatney, Aunt Let's daughter - but I don't recall that she ever lived in Tulsa.

Sunday. Went with Graydon’s family to Sunday School and
church. Back again that night and heard
Graydon sing “The Lord’s Prayer”.

Wish she's said what show....

Wednesday. Graydon on car trade.
My uncle Graydon traded cars a lot, but then many people of this era traded every two years. Graydon was one of the worst drivers I ever rode with - speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down. Always made me ill.

Thursday. Clare and I went shopping at Sears.

Friday. Clare and the children went to Fayetteville
and took me to Tahlequah. Mattie’s
family get together.
Aunt Mattie had a Reunion every summer.

Saturday. Rainy.
Eva took me to their cabin at Ten Killer. Beautiful spot.
Eva (King) Fulcher - Aunt Mattie's oldest daughter.
August

Sunday. The big day.
30 people at Mattie’s for dinner.
Minnie and Ira brought me home and we stopped at hospital in
Fayetteville to see Letty.

Putting Kenney’s clothes away.
Went picnicking with JoEllen’s folk on War Eagle River. Nice drive.

today.
August
19 [17th]
I
went to church. Then JoEllen had Mattie,
Frances Ann and me there for dinner. We
attended open house at the parsonage.
Also dedication. Kay sang “Bless
This House” 5 P.M. we left for Van Buren. I took beautiful flowers to Kenney
from our own home.
Frances Ann was Aunt Mattie's granddaughter - daughter of her deceased daughter Frances. I don't know her surname now - if I ever did. I think one of the aunt's raised her but she spent a lot of time with Mattie.
August

Monday. I spent last night with Grandma and Maude. Went back to Minnie’s for dinner.
August
21 [19th]
Tuesday. A.M.
We drove back home. Stopped to
see Letty and also saw Dr. Fischer and had my feet worked on. Afternoon Mattie and Frances went home.
Mammaw had very painful bunions and other problems with her feet - she looked forward to her visits to her podiatrist almost as much as to the hairdresser.
August
22 [20th]
Wednesday. Did a washing and canned peaches. Bobb Reed helped me put our iris from
Minnie’s. Donny and Kay ate supper with
me.
Some of that iris went with me to every house I lived in until we moved back to Wetumpka in 1990 - never bloomed again there, bulbs just worn out I guess.
August
23 [21st]
Thursday. Talked with A. W. & Grace. He is better – they say go on to
California. Had my hair done. Pick up curls. Looks like a new permanent. Went to Kansas City by bus.
Her brother, Authur and his wife Grace.
August

Sunday [The
date and day now in agreement.] At
Ikeys. Talked with Jay. Made reservations to fly to San Francisco.
August
25
Monday Spent day with Lindy.
Lindy was Ikey & Becky's dog - there was actually more than one named Lindy, but this one was probably the first. A cocker spaniel treated much more like a baby; they always brought her when they visited her. I think my sisters and young cousins thought of Lindy as another cousin. My grandmother was raised in another era and didn't think much of animals kept as pets - especially in the house.
August

The Cliff House is a restaurant in San Francisco with a very long history - amazing that it's still there!
