Friday, May 25, 1973 - "Today was not quite so hectic but still - it had its moments. I went with Diane to her beauty shop to have haircuts for all 3 girls this afternoon. It took an hour longer than it should have due to the operator having a long, unscheduled customer.
It was fortunate that I was there to help. Lynn & I went out for candy and gum, which also helped. Katie got the "prize" haircut - cute as a button - short & shaped to the natural curl she has.
The two older girls were an hour late to a naborhood birthday party. This bothered Diane enormously, knowing how much such things are planned by mothers. Also we were late in getting the spareribs into oven for supper, but we ate a little later, which was O.K. I shortened a new long daytime skirt for Diane. Dan phoned his flight time for early A.M. arrival tomorrow - John to go for him at 5:30 A.M. from here."
Ruth and John were 67 and 74 at that time and still functioning well, though the pace in Palatine was much faster than in FL.. With Dan in to Las Vegas twice, it was helpful to have them visit. Dan and I both went to Las Vegas on May 28th for the pro-am golf tournament he was in charge of,
As much as everyone else liked the haircut, Kate did not. Looking back, she probably wanted her hair to be longer like Lynn's and Cindy's. This diary entry is not in Pieces of a Life.
