Monday, January 1, 1962

Nice clear cold day and windy. I was very late getting my washing done. Bill and Billie home. Blanche came over to watch Rose Bowl parade on TV. Mama fell down. Bill and Billie had quite a job to get her up again. Fern, Lloyd, Kennie and Dot called today. Bill, Betty and I called at Ferns. Uncle Os not too good. Mama not too good either.

Very cold. Tonight Betty got a call from Mike. First time she had heard from him since before Christmas. It was while Billie and I were at Ferns he called. She called us right up.  Mike is in Fort Lewis, Washington. He told her she would get a letter from him tomorrow. Also the good news about coming out there with him.
