It starts to rain and begins to fill the hole for the pool.

The spot for the pool is planned! Virgil and I come home from school to watch the first step which was to dig the pit.

Virgil and I are called home early from Aunt Martha's house because Momma and Daddy have a visitor coming over to discuss some business with them.

I finally shoot my first deer, only after I make a huge mistake.

I explore the area around the campsite and the go with the group of men to assign hunting spots for tomorrow.

The antlers from the deer that Virgil shot last year finally arrive and we hang them up in the Living Room. It is now my turn to do deer hunting with Daddy. The time arrives. Daddy and I head towards Madisonville, Texas and on the way, Daddy teaches me how to drive a car (I was 11 years old).

It was not a good day for Mrs. Hutton to talk and talk and talk to Mr. McShan. The results of that decision could be seen for the rest of the school year.

Virgil and I ride through Maywood Acres collecting bottles to turn in so that we can get a soda and some candy. Afterwards, we run into Raleigh Samuel, the local bully.

Virgil and I start a bicycle ride around Maywood Acres. We stop by the Philley's house to deliver some canning jars and I run into Betty.

The Gibbs Family goes over to The Sharp's for food, fellowship and Mrs. Sharp's fantastic peanut brittle.
