Cloudy all day. I washed, and got a lot of mail. Bill called out tonight. I went over to Aunt Ava’s in evening. A bad storm began tonight.

Tuesday, March 13, 1962 Big Wet Snow

When we got up this morning, we were snowbound. An awful bad storm. Bill didn’t come home at all. He came for breakfast about 830. I got his lunch up for him. Billie was an hour late. He had to shovel to get to the road and get the car out. Fern and Lloyd drove into the yard. She came to borrow some grain. Back ache. Bill to bed early. I ironed.

Wednesday, March 14, 1962 LETTER FROM BET AND MIKE

A very nice day. 50 to 60 above out in the sun on the thermometer. 40 above out there in shade in forenoon. I made a lemon pie, done my work. Got my two letters off. I scoured the separator all up today. It looked nice. Fern and Lloyd called, also Kennard. We got another one of those happy sounding letters from Betty today. I’m so glad she is so happy.
