Monday, January 1, 1968 Happy Anniversary Dorothea and Dave Wedding

Clear and windy. A very nice clear day, but on the very cold and windy side for the first day of the new year. Bill had to work all day. Billie and I took the bathroom tile tools to Norway. They belonged to Diamond National. The house where we took them is just being built. We went in and looked it over. A larger house than ours. No one here all day. Joy and Buddy and girls went home after a week at Bob’s. Betty and family are visiting with Walt’s family today.

This is been a very nice day. I did a big wash. Had to dry some in the house. I was glad to hear from Betty this morning. She had a very nice weekend. She met Walt’s family. They all glad to meet. In p.m. Dorothea, David and Jeff came. Had lunch. Dorothea did a big wash. They all stayed for supper. We was glad to have them. They had a good time up to David’s sister and family in Vermont and visit his grandmother. This has been a beautiful day. School began after a Christmas recess. Fern got to go to Portland to have her eyes tested, possibly an operation.

She may come down and bring Carmen for a few days visit. Billie and I read papers and watched TV. Elvis Presley show, very good. Fern called, she and Lloyd got Social Security checks today. I went to town with Kennard this p.m.
