Thursday, December 4, 1969

Teen temperatures this morning. Partly cloudy. I washed, washed windows, made two squash pies. Down to Betty’s while she went to do her Christmas shopping. Kim came up in forenoon to watch TV. She is a cute little tyke. Bill home for his lunch. His eyes are bad.

Friday, December 5, 1969 Nice day

A nice snow last night. Clear and cold. Kim up to watch her TV programs. Bill’s eye about the same. I went down to Betty’s to make plans to go shopping tomorrow, came home, ironed, cleaned my kitchen stove. To town after supper.

Saturday, December 6, 1969 New Color TV

Clear and very cold. Today Betty and Walt bought a brand-new colored TV Motorola. Betty and I to Portland today and Falmouth shopping for Christmas. Not very good luck, stores are crowded, people have pawed and picked everything over. I’ll be so glad when it is over. Is awfully hard work to shop. I still got more to do.

Checking out the new color tv!

Sunday, December 7, 1969

A real nice day. I done up my work. Read paper etc. Went down to Betty’s while they went down town. I like their TV very much. I’m so glad they have it. Billie worked for Lawrence. Bill and I went for a short ride, called at Fern and Lloyd’s. I had a roast beef supper. Billie home early. I went down to Hortons to watch colored TV.
