Cloudy and not so warm. Milan’s’s folks here. Dorothea  here in p.m. and evening. Fern and Lloyd called. They brought me up a box of chocolates for birthday. Dorothea and Betty had a surprise party for me. I got lots of nice gifts. A good time, also Norma, Betty Louise, Billie and Milan helped.

Billie, Donnie, Joy and Betty

Donnie wrung the goose's neck then ran from Nanny when she tried to stop him. She finally caught him and released the goose.

(Some of these photos say cookout 1955, others say 1956. They look to be from the same year but not sure if it is August 1955 or 1956. I'm guessing they are from Nanny's surprise party in 1955)
