Saturday December 25th 1976
Slept late and then wrapped gifts. About 4:00 Howard and I in to Mary & Rocky’s. Mother there and David and Karen about 5. Had fillets from John Belli with mushrooms- delicious. Then opened gifts- calculator small enough for purse- their black and white TV! Sarah loved my lambswool duster. Kathi gave me screen but not for wall and “The Heartland” by Walter Havighurst. Howard had my Christmas on the table this morning. A redwood burl- three teak wood bases for vases and 2 bird records. I give him Edwin Way Teale’s “A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm”.
