December 13 - 16, 1962 A Christmas Surprise!!


Thursday, December 13, 1962 DOROTHEA AND JEFFREY CAME about 2 AM

A nice crisp day. We all are a flutter with our big surprise of last night. Betty, Jeff and I went down in the woods, got a small Christmas tree for Aunt Ava. Betty and Jeff done the decorating outside. Fern and Lloyd called, Blanche and Aunt Ava. Dorothea seems pleased to be home. She has come home till after Christmas. We are so glad. It was such a surprise.

Cloudy and some light snow. Gee, I overslept this morning. Bill home sick today. Dorothea and I done up the work. Got Mike’s package off, got stamps. I cleaned up the house, washed upstairs windows. Betty, Dorothea, Jeff and I to town in p.m. Did Mama’s Christmas shopping for her. Paid all the taxes. What a relief.
