Monday, December 8, 1969

A cold cloudy stormy day. It snowed and it rained. I didn’t wash. I cleaned up my bedrooms today, moved the beds. I wrapped some gifts. Went down to Betty’s and watched colored TV. Soap operas very good. Came home, did a dite more wrapping, got supper. Billie’s eye not too good. They told him at Dialectic they will get a small bonus this year and a canned ham.

Another cloudy rainy day. I done up my work, made a pie. Got my Christmas cards stamped and mailed all of mine and Billie’s out-of-town ones. Down to Betty’s. I helped her get her applesauce made. Watched a couple TV shows, very good. They like their TV very much. I had a box come today with a couple Christmas gifts. Also the pencils I sent for came.

A cloudy day but mild. Betty and I went to Norway town in a.m. In p.m. went to Bridgton. I got almost all my shopping done. Just a few more things to get. Fern stayed with Zak and Kim. Betty finished all her shopping.

Thursday, December 11, 1969 Couch Pillows Back

It rained hard and heavy winds most all day. I did some more Christmas wrapping. Went down to Betty’s while she went to town. Came home and wrapped a few more gifts. Carmen came up and brought up the turkey that Betty and Walt got free with the purchase of their new colored TV. We put it in our deep-freeze. I went down to Ferns in evening while Billie went to get his haircut. Billie brought the pillows back tonight for the coach. Very mild temperature. Bill called out after supper to get a tree out of the road on the Ridge.
