Sunday December 10th 1978
Got tree up and decorated by noon and had just started onions for chili when David called saying he had the flu but would try to come. He started, but had to turn back. Marilee Augenstein* had seven of her family here Geneva Brewer played piano and Erick (Bob Erickson) the flute. Mitchell’s had Chris and Brooke here. Bernard and Ken Heckler came late and Tozer’s even later. Served wassail when people arrived and eggnog in coffee with all the goodies they brought. About 30 here.
Mother had gallbladder attack last night and Mary took her to hospital but stopped before she got out.
