Thursday March 18

Very warm windy, $14.14 fish, $3.00 catfish. Put out 4 more shrimp here. Took girls shopping each new tennis shoes, panties, sox for Tricia, white shoes for Peg, for S.S. They each bought a cute pin with their money. Bought tags, also Dadys, paid taxes, both banks, phone, gas bills. Racked this afternoon, also p.m. Dady stopped by. Chizzy Winks are so bad, put cloths over windows so the light wouldn't attract them so bad.

Chizzy Winks

Chizzywinks are more commonly referred to as blind mosquitos.
