Cold 10° – AM – 30° PM – Sunny – Royce here to clean – She & Charlie celebrated yesterday – Got all C’mas decorations put away – some in workroom & some in attic – Now to find the right box next year. Recycled the spruce to the tub by the side porch. Mary out at 3:00 – We wrote her thank you to Trinity for members help in 1997 – then entered a few of Uncle Allen’s books into “Allen” database. Decided we needed a “Box” field in order to be able to find them to put MCHS code # on letters. Had pork roast & sauerkraut for supper with “golden mashed potatoes”. My goal for the year is to reduce all the piles & boxes of papers that clutter up my house–
Radio & Marion Star announced “Distinguished Citizen Awards” – and EHMA* got one – I sent in nomination – don’t know if others did.

Thurs – Met Don Maloney at Prior House – he will contact Karen Wycliff – Cols secondhand book store – moved furniture to HH & bedding – Ate with Mary at Bob Evans.
