Even more Diary Tidbits from 1976

Jan. 27: "In afternoon Dan’s friend Debbie came to see us and we had a game of transograms." (this probably does not refer to Audrey's daughter Debby.)


May 30: …"When I awakened here were Cynthia, Steve, Aaron and Steve’s parents. We became acquainted and I had nice little visit with Cynthia. Then Ralph took Aaron and I for a ride. They went to feed the ducks, then went by Joe’s — no one home."…


June 30: "Mid-afternoon Ralph said, “I am going to see my dad — do you want to go along?” I said yes so we went to San Marcos. Ralph invited him, Ralph Jr., to go along and went to Escondido and around in the countryside. A very pleasant ride."

Aug. 2: "Had expected Ralph Jr. over to play game or two but he was helping Ralph Sr. with the yard work. Now I’ll go play a game. Just got nicely started when in came the two Ralphs. I invited senior to play but he said no so junior and I had a game of dominoes at which I won, then a game of anagrams at which Ralph Jr. won. Then watched TV a bit. Then I go excused and they left after 10 and I got to bed."

Sep. 20: "Joe came and brot us some figs. I hear you picked them and got stung by bees. I am very sorry about that. Read paper and book and had a game."
