December 1, 1976

From 1976 desk journal

Wednesday

Had to work all day for Old Man. Joey went "fishing" and Raymond couldn't lay particle board by himself. Very tired when I got home.

Yancie, Brenda and I visited parents. Old Man seemed preoccupied , probably a sign of money problems. I was also less than perfect company.

Over the past week Yancie has become a cheery little person (most of time).

Stopped by Pigs. Milton was manic. Apparently he is in dire financial straits.

Also learned today that Raymond Allen is a painter. Life is certainly strange.
