Partly cloudy. Washed Kim’s diapers. I did an ironing. Made a pie, cooked dinner. Betty and Walt called at Joys and Aunt Ava’s. Fern, Lloyd came up to see the Horton’s off. They got ready and left for home at about 3:45 or four. Bill and I took a long ride to help charge the car battery up. Came home. I got the house and its contents back in place. Betty and Carmen called, they arrived home about 6:35 PM. Was glad they came, had a good weekend. Billie down country would Lawrence and got a load of cattle.

A very cold day. I cleaned up the house, made two pies. Fern, Lloyd called. Bill’s car wouldn’t start, he had to go to work with Billie. We have had a very cold winter so far. Billie and I went down to get Jeff after supper. He was so pleased to get here.
