Clear, cold and some wind. I done up the work. Got up at about 8:30. Made a pie (apple). No one here all day. Billie cleaned his car windows. Bill and I watched TV. Dwight D Eisenhower’s services in Washington. Billie read. In evening Billie and I went down to Fern and Lloyd’s to see their colored TV. It snowed, sleet and rained in Washington today.
