Found something interesting today for y'all. While going through some old stuff I found a ripped out journal page dated 7/28/84. So I'll try to copy what it says, so you can see a day in the life of Trevor in 1984.
"Started my day with oatmeal and coffee, kissed Julia goodbye and went to run some errands. It's Saturday so I had time before we had to open. Visited Jim's Hardware for some new fence supplies. Gotta keep the possums out somehow. I also went to Dana's house, I agreed to water her plants for a week while she visits her parents in Oregon, so hopefully I don't kill em. Ms. Reber talked with me for 20 minutes or so about her knitting when I said hello to her on the street. Friendly people in town is both a blessing and a curse. After that, I opened the shop up and was there for a while. Nothing of note happened really. At home though, Julia and I ate together and watched a comedy show on TV. That was nice. I also had to call James on the phone, he said he needed advice on how to remodel his front deck so I helped him with that. Now I'm going to sleep. Today was pretty good." I wasn't the most detailed journal writer but there you go, that was my life back then. I just thought you'd all find that entertaining. It's a nice example of how Walker Creek was. Calm, peaceful, friendly. I miss that kinda thing. - Trevor
