January 8 - 11, 1962

Monday, January 8, 1962 Billie Deming went home from hospital today

Fern got a call from Esther today. Cloudy in a.m., cleared off in p.m. Nice and warm all day. I went to town with Lloyd, took Betty’s suit to cleaners. Got her some nylons. Betty has been so happy today, getting ready to go to Portland tonight with Bessie. She looked very attractive when she went. Lida Brackett took her down to Bessie’s house. They went to the YWCA at open house where Rowena is staying. Betty enjoyed her evening very much. Bill lame. Mama not good.

A nice day, got cool in p.m. I churned, done up the housework, got clothes in and ironed. Lloyd called. Aunt Ava called. Lloyd brought Mama a birdfeeder. Betty not too cheerful.
