Friday, February 16, 1973

A very nice day. In early a.m. it was sunny. Not too cold. I went down to Betty’s in a.m. and helped her clean up her house. Came home, got lunch and went to town and done my skinny grocery shopping. Bill down to Gordon’s.

A very nice day but very cold and windy. I baked beans, washed windows. Done regular work. Milan came about 9:30. Billie and I cleaned up the breezeway. He and Billie put the ox yoke up. I made bread and rolls. After supper I went down and got supper for Pa and the kids. Walt took Betty out for supper for her birthday. They came back early and then they had company, Errol and Randy. They had such a good time.

Cloudy most of the day, quite cold. I got up early, done my work after taking a bath. Got the roast pork dinner to going. Milan came back from friends he visited up in the Gardiner area in early a.m. About 1 PM I had dinner ready. We ate about two. Did the dishes and visited later in p.m. Betty played her tape she had made last night. Then we had birthday cake and ice cream. A little later they all went home. Milan came back from visiting Esther, then went to visit Anna Hewson to see how Pete is.
