February 1 - 3, 1974 Carmen's 11th Birthday Party

Friday, February 1, 1974

A beautiful day. Mild. I washed windows, did regular work, ironed. Betty and Zak here. It has been windy. Last night it was an awful windy night. It blew down trees and did a lot of damage. It blew the top or most of a large tree down. It was in front of Betty’s. The town crew cleaned it up this morning. I was down to Betty’s in p.m.

Kind of on the partly cloudy side. A pretty good Calamus Day or Groundhog Day. I done up my work, went to town, done a little shopping. Checks came today. Billie didn’t go anywhere with Lawrence today. It was on the cold side.

It was a little cloudy, but it cleared off very good. I got up, took my bath, got breakfast. Done up my work and got ready and went down to Betty’s to help get ready to make the sandwiches for the party. Today Carmen celebrated her 11^th birthday which is Tuesday the 5th. Fern, Lloyd, Cliff, Esther, Dorothea, and David, Jeff, Billie, Bill and me. She got a lot of money and many nice gifts. Had a good time. Dorothea, David and Jeff came in Jeff’s car. It is a good car and he gave Bill a ride in it. Also Billie and Carmen and Billie Deming. We are pleased he has it. Now if he turns out to be a good man is all we ask for.
