July 16. Ann’s home. Again a visit! Ann insisted I go to the Pool with them. We all went to a swim meet at Zelsenople (sp?). All Ann’s children are good swimmers. The world and its values are changing so radically. I was amazed at parent’s (women) with stop watches timing their children (some very young) as they swam. It seemed such a mechanical (almost dehumanizing) way to [action?] in which children were puppets. Thank God Ann has nothing like that in her make-up.
July 17. Home - difficulty getting thru tubes. Air is so polluted, I was alarmed when Amy either passed out or went to sleep. When we were moving, she revived but was pale. How could I ever forgive myself if anything happened to them taking me home. I’m expendable - they are not. Severe thunder storm later.
August 14. Ann and Rosy met me in Fantasia after my hair appointment 1/2 off sale. Ann bought shirt and blouse. Shopped for present for Erin’s birthday. Then the ultimate moment - went to Coopers and I saw the antique Ann wanted. I loaned her $70 to pick it up. Went to lunch… This is my birthday… I was a grateful person to have two such loving daughters.
