Saturday, January 1, 1983
Brought in the New Year with Mary & Ken, Mary & Carl, Bill & Erma & Helen Romine* joining Dave & me at Terradise. Dave played Auld Lang Syne for us on his Casio electronic keyboard. Slept until 11 – watched Rose Parade – color gorgeous on this RCA set – in to LK to have dinner with Jordans & Heckers. My plate of sauerkraut & spare ribs too cold to enjoy. To Hills & bought automatic drip coffee maker & a strong box for Dave. Visited mother. Copied Dave’s banking records & sent to Don for release signatures. Started taking down C’mas & worked on attic making room.
