February 17 - 19, 1961 Betty's Birthday Weekend

Friday, February 17, 1961 Betty Louise Crook 18 years old

I done up the housework, washed living room and dining room floors. Made a birthday cake and a chocolate cake. Dolores called. Hayd brought up some potatoes. This is a last day of school for a week. Kids got up at noon. David, Rowena, Betty and Linda all went to Auburn to get Mike and Tommy. They came up for the weekend. To the Carnival Ball tonight. Bill and I to town. Then took the kids down to the dance. Mike brought me a nice box of chocolates and Betty also a very pretty corsage. Betty had a nice birthday party. Snowed late in p.m.
