Friday July 15th

Spent a good part of the day recuperating from the Reunion but finally decided to go w/Bob to the Plow Boy Market for Vegetable Shopping in preparation for a Turkey Supper Saturday night instead of a big meal on Sunday. Kay had gone to work at the Hospital from 11PM Thursday night to 7 AM Friday morning. Slept until about 1:00pm and then took off w/the ladies for a shopping tour. Bob and I took off w/the two boys for the house shopping and I jotted down some of the prices. Beets 1c per bunch - white turnips 1c bunch - watermelon 2 1/2 lb - strawberries 10c box- bacon 4 lbs for $1.00- string beans 3 lbs for 10c-cucumbers 1c each. That gives you some idea. All those vegetables are from a farm operated by Japs who confine themselves principally to this line of work. Try to those prices back in Boston. So back home - Fried shrimp and Halibut for Supper w/French Fries and Strawberry Shortcake - double deckers. Poker after supper with Gladys and Bob taking the dough. At least a restful evening.
