Sunday, January 9, 1966

A beautiful day, after bad blizzard last night. It started yesterday forenoon. Bill worked all p.m. and all night. Billie shoveled out. I done up my work. Bill worked half-day plowing snow. In evening I wrote my letters. It was very cold. I didn’t get down to see Betty and Carmen. After Mike went they both were home sick.

A nice day, cold in the forenoon. It warmed up and got a little cloudy. I washed down to Betty and Carmen’s. Both are lonesome. Carmen sneezing, Betty didn’t feel very good. I washed my dining room curtains after supper. Bill lame and not too good tonight.

Tuesday, January 11, 1966

Cloudy this a.m. and a few snow flurries. I washed my living room curtains. Made an apple pie and chocolate pudding. I washed all my windows and wood work. Put curtains back. Called at Betty and Carmen’s. Ironed this evening and mended. Colder tonight.

Wednesday, January 12, 1966 Mrs. Carter

A nice clear morning, about 5 below. I done up my regular work. Vacuum, dusted and washed floors. Got ready, went down to Betty and Carmen’s. She had a nice roast pork in cooking. Mrs. Carter came to see her today about aid for she and Carmen from the state. Mike came UGH!!!  Tonight Mike called on her, it was awful. Now what, I don’t know.
