Fixed the Car and Starfish

Sat.
July 26 – Letters from Glora & Sharon.

Car still wouldn't start. Mr. Connor took Pat & Vince to work.

Mr. Connor brought back a battery which Vince had bought, and put it in the car. I went back and picked up Vince – got hung up on some rock – Car has a funny noise – Vince says hole in tail pipe.

We went swimming in p.m. for a while – then cleaned a starfish when we got home. Shampoo & showers and to bed.

Sun.
July 27 – Church this morning – nonchalant about time. Started at 11:20 and went till about 12:40. Had dinner and then fooled around. Went to the Sea about 4 for a dip. Bernadette showed us a couple of starfish preserved, also shells assorted. Had supper, wrote Sharon before bed.

Vince wrote his folks, Glora, & John Baker before church.

Winding Down

Sat.
Aug. 9 – Washed clothes Pd.
A rainy morning. Vince took the car to work. Got home after 2. I took Dawn down to Sandy Ground to buy a starfish & shells.

Rained showers all day – clothes didn't dry.

Went to party on frigate Mohawk.

Sun.
Aug. 10 – Still raining. Went to church, had dinner. While Vince napped I wrote letters to Sharon and to Menzies. Vince took the kids for a last dip, while Jené and I started packing. To bed by 10.
