Rosy brought two friends from Whitehall up to Toy City. I babysit—five children under 5 years—only one hour—played well. Toy City put Roscoe on the map. How welcome. Letter from Lynn (answer to my prayers). Shopped in afternoon, found a coffee urn for our Mr Coffee Maker at Fishers (4.95). Deposited Christmas Savings in Feh (?) Savings. Started a new one.

Scattered snow. Routine chores.
Friday, November 6
Hair. Sent $28 to Rosy for gifts she bought me.
Saturday, November 7
Mass. F. Smith. Manners in Church-a welcocming committee (we know each other too well). Went over to Dora’s—examined her upstairs apartment. How dull a vacant place looks—This one needs extensive plumbing plus cosmetic effort to make it livable.
Monday, November 9
Woke up at 8:00 to a strange, white world, blanketed with snow. Nothing for Amy at Richards. Walked up to Funeral Home with Dora—how sad to see A. M. C. who looked as if she fought death. Watched last part of Gone with the Wind over at Dora’s. Two old women—with a flashlight guiding them walked up a flight of outside stairs to an empty apartment to check the heater—11:00 an eerie feeling.

Put down the blue carpet in bathroom, not a neat job but blamed it on the blunt knife. It looks much better. Colors can dampen or brighten.
Wednesday, November 11
Washed walls and ceiling in dining room.
Friday, November 12
Went up to Social Hall to help prepare for 50th wedding reception for Watsons. Dolores and Jerry stayed up, working on finishing touches. Left about 1:00 Saturday.
Saturday, November 13
Hair done. Bought a blue velvet pantsuit, matching blouse to wear to reception. Virginia A. sat with us. George and Florence renewed marriage vows. F. Smith in high spirits, all children and grandchildren present. Barbara, Mrs. Grigg, Dolores, Rainy, Judy, Patty (felt as if I were in a fantasy). George’s friends-there. Stayed until 10. Received compliments on my outfit. Daddy came but left early.
