Thurs.  Fair.

I washed.  The weather is nice.  They took Aunt Rose to the hospital this morn.  I walked  up to Ward's late to call about her. 


Footnote:  Aunt Rose Baker Slemp is her Mother's half-sister.  The Ward family lives just up the back road from her house.  Surely she had a telephone then.  Maybe the Wards had a Pennington Telephone which would have meant it wouldn't cost to call the hospital.  I am just guessing here.  Phones were so different in 1965.   Amazing how far we have come in 50 years.  I can't imagine there will be major developments in the next 50 years as there has been in the last 50, but I bet there will be.
