Saturday, January 31, 1981
No precipitation for 15 days. Sunny all day Low 10 high 32 3rd driest Jan in history.
Mary & Ken out to put doors on stereo compartment. He had $25 in materials so I paid him $40. Wedding appointment changed till Wed so I didn’t go in. Went to Reece’s for groceries – 4 lbs of Sirloin at round steak pricecost $8.10. Had dinner all ready when Mary Kue [sic] & Mother came at 5:15 & Haldemans at 5:50. David complemented me on dinner – Even asked whether I had done it all myself. Evidently I have not made a good impression as a cook!
Showe the family movie made in 1970. We all were thinner! Mother has aged the most. David intriqued by Roy Price’s diaries of 1918 – 1928-1930 that his daughter Vivian Blackford had compiled & published. They are fascinating. Must write & tell her so.
Popcorn & pizza & bed at 11:30.;
