Wednesday, January 3, 1973 A Beautiful Day

The sun was shining all day. We see it come up at the rising and set at dusk. We haven’t had that for many many days. A beautiful day. I washed, clothes dried very good. I washed kitchen curtains and windows. I went to town, paid monthly bills. Came home, went down to Betty’s for a little while. TV repair man came and got TV. I ironed after supper and Betty and I called at Ferns.
