Dec. 4

Dad’s birthday is today.

We forgot to sing happy birthday after morning devotions so we sang at the suppertable. We went down to the ditch. We had fun. The ice was frozen almost till safe but the sun shone and melted part of it. We played blackman the last recess. In the evening we went to the auditorium to a Master Mix program. There were good movies. Moving and speaking

Dec. 3

We got up and baked pumpkin pies in the morning. Then we got dressed and went to Church. When we got home we ate dinner and washed the dishes, and then Sam, Elaine, and I went to Horace L.’s to play Basketball. Byrom and Vernan L. came along. I rode on the pony. It wanted to buck me off, but it couldn’t.

December 1

It snowed. There was enough snow on the ground to make hard snowballs. Levi, Byron, Curtis, Paul, and Derryl always wanted to wash our face, especially Bonni’s, Lu Ella, and me. I went in the school house and embrodiered. We had fun anyway.

Our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. had a wreck. Mrs. L. broke her collar bone. I don’t know how bad the rest was.
