February 19 - 22, 1972 Betty's 29th Birthday

Saturday, February 19, 1972

Last night or early this morning Milan came, he has three days off. We had a bad storm and blizzard today. It snowed so hard you couldn’t see down to Walt’s when that wind blowed at times. It was an awful day. I had to go to town in p.m. to get the cake. Esther, Cliff and Billie drove to Stoneham Mass.  Darn Fools!!

Sunday, February 20, 1972

A sunny day, but cold and windy. Walt, Betty and kids got up here about two. We had a roast pork dinner honoring Betty on her 29^th birthday. In p.m. Dorothea and family came. We had birthday cake and ice cream. Dorothea brought a very pretty cake. Betty had a very pretty hot pantsuit from Dorothea’s family. Billie gave her a set of eight egg cups. We gave her money. Billie gave her a miracle lint brush and Walt and children gave her a stereo components set. It is just wonderful.

Cleared in a.m. Bill had to get the driveway plowed out. Get it all cleared out good. They did yesterday and the awful wind yesterday filled it all in from one side of the driveway to the other side. Carmen came up this morning for a couple days. Milan left about 9:30 this morning. Esther’s folks got home about 3 PM. Took Judd to Dr. Gauger for his shots and operation.
