Christmas Day for me
David & Susannah woke me at 9:00 – I finally got sleep & hadn’t heard a thing. Mary was here & ready to make Belgian Waffles for breakfast. Also has sausage & orange juice.
And then we opened gifts – what took me all day to wrap took the recipients about 3 minutes to open. Mary gave me her picture framed – a book of Ohio city maps – a ceramic house & candy bars – Symphony chocolate & licorice toffee. The kids gave me a finer towel, a corn de-silker brush & a set of spie labels. David gave a book ‘A Trip to New Connecticut in 1810” by Margaret Dewight – a 20 yar old – Same period the Hildreth’s made their trip over the Pa mts. Karen brought a buck of her fine cookies – many kinds. Kathi sent a $50 JC Penny gift certificate & a Yosemite calendar.
Gave the family the salad bar at Ponderosa for Christmas DInner about 3:30 – Then they left for Cincinnati & I came home & lit my Christmas lights.
