108th day- 257 days follow
Partly cloudy
Jubbie worked this morning.
The carpenters were on the hill.
The Cape Cod Co. truck came up this A.M. and they lugged off the old shingles that came off the house.
They finished about 3 P.M.
Jubbie took Harriet over to have some teeth out.
Guy Cooper has sold out his grocery business.*
Had a shower this afternoon.
Bill Whiting came up after supper and he was quite happy as he had a lucky find up at Mother Doaneās. It was a fine specimen and in perfect condition, what I assume was an ear ornament.
Fannie Holman was here tonight.
Ski has gone to work again down at the Milk Bar.
*editorās note. Guy Cooperās store was at Jabez Corner and sold a little of everything. The store later became Barbieriās market. Weād love more info on its history!


Thereās a nice image of Guy Cooperās store on the landing page of Jim Bakerās website: http://www.jabezcorner.com/
Guy Cooper was, I believe, Jimās great-grandfather. Or maybe grandfather? Jim wrote a nice piece about the store for edible South Shore magazine a few years backā¦.

Thank you, Paula! I should ask him about a lot of the names in the journal..he’d be a great resource. His dad and mine were great friends.
