February 16 - 19, 1963 Dorothea and Jeff Leave for MI



Saturday, February 16, 1963

10 below, very cold. DOROTHEA AND JEFFREY left home here to go back to Detroit after making us such a nice long visit. They came here 12 December. I have loved every minute of the time they have been with us. They went to Portsmouth, Dover, NH. To Logan Airport and Portland. Had so much fun with Jeff. Dorothea enjoyed being with her family and friends. Fern, Lloyd, Bill and I took them to the airport to meet the plane. We love them and miss them. Betty has had a painful week. Carmen fussy.



Sunday, February 17, 1963 Betty Louise Crook Boutilier’s birthday

10 below early, warmed up. Betty Louise Crook Boutilier 20 years today. Carmen Christie very pretty. A nice day. We miss Jeffrey and Dorothea. Betty feels better today from her stitches and pain from the birth. She has a sore throat today. She dressed up today, cleaned up the house, didn’t do too much with the baby. She and I to town. Billie down to Porter with Lawrence. Kenny, Dot called. Bob and Blanche, Joy and girls over and gave Betty a birthday cake and ice cream. We miss Dorothea and Jeff so much all day. Very quiet. Baby good.
