Friday, December 23, 1977

 

Got my work done early, got ready and went down to Betty’s. I helped her clean her house. It was an all day job, then we went to town shopping for Christmas dinner etc. It has been a long hard day.

 

 

 

Saturday, December 24, 1977

 

A very nice day. I was very busy all day and Kim came up. We made bread, pies and cookies. Cleaned up the house. Rushed around all day doing all the last-minute things. Got our snacks for evening ready. Down to Fern’s while she opened her gifts. Then she, Ragers, Hortons and Demings all came up here. The Thomases, Adair and Paula were here. We was so glad to see Jeff. It was my best Christmas present. I love him and do wish him the best. We Crooks opened our gifts, many many nice and useful gifts. A good time.
