Sunday, September 19, 1976. Helen Mae Wright Adolph. Listening to Johnny Cash and Charlie Pride. Got Scarabin tape from Tembagapura and so glad to get it. She packed as much as she could into the package. Everyone went to church. Had dinner with Carolyn "Sister" Bergeron's and had some delicious spaghetti. She doesn't like those little "short orders" and gets tired of just meat and potatoes. She and Clarence took a nap and she and Aunt Gail Portie made strawberry ice cream. Inviting Lindy and Beth over. Johnny Cash "Sold Out of Flag Poles" (removed). MawMaw and PawPaw paid for just about all of the package. Shirt for D.D.'s birthday and film was supposed to be for Christmas and candy for D.D. PawPaw (Clarence) sent the bubble gum. She's worried about the "primitive people... killing [us kids]... they have to eat. Don't let them go too far." MawMaw thought all the people in the world had been civilized by now. "Hope it's not the lost tribes." PawPaw has been suffering with "arthur-itis... can't tell him nothing." She'd like them to go fishing. Talked a little bit about Ike Scarabin and a trailer. Lillian never gets out or come over with Ernie ('Pompy") Scarabin. MawMaw doesn't know if they’re mad at her or not. Just talked to Uncle Jim and is "as nuts as ever" and about to start cobalt treatment and he's "kindly scared" to take them. Didn't get to talk to Aunt Ruth. Uncle Emmett and Aunt Yvonne came by and Aunt Yvonne has to get some tests run. Saw a wreck coming home from church and three guys died. Eddie Portie said two died and two seriously hurt... worked at the Pogey Plant. PawPaw didn't feel like talking. Uncle Nicky had to work and Aunt Annie goes by Aunt Ethel's on Sundays. Carolyn took Craig and Kyle to bowling alley in leagues and Craig did pretty good and Kyle too. She "art" not to worry about when tape will finish. Louis Adolph still same condition. Helen Mae and Clarence "lawnmowering." Had to get new hot water heater for Aunt Wendy's trailer. Went to Garage Sale with Miss Lizzy (Paul Buras' mom). Bought jacket for Brent and fan for camp for $2. It was "kindly raining." Put water tank up by no water yet and she guesses she "didn't pray hard enough." Brought tapes to Ernie and Lil to listen to tapes. Went to Scarabins and Gertrude (Grandma) told Louis (Grandpa) Scarabin to quiet down or he's going to have another heart attack. Lillian had been sick and Miss Lizzy got a new car (Maverick, blue and white) "prettier than Gail's." Gave Miss Lizzy a Book of Mormon. She's about the "only one that would read it and listen or study it or whatever... or maybe not." Hadn't mail a "cotton-pickin' thing." Wished the sisters would write to give her a break and can't wait until all daughters are all home so she won't have to write. Aunt Wendy said Marilyn said she can have all her Wish Books. Johnny (Lil's son) was visiting from Florida. Janelle's baby is so cute and Jim is "proud as a peacock." Everyone laughed about the gourds and "balls out."
