Due to Vi & Art’s company, added to Mart & Hanks and the grandchildren, we had a pleasant Christmas Season, which we all enjoyed –
Red & Sally and the boys surprised us the Thursday afternoon before New Years, by dropping in on the way to Caro Mich. – And then they stopped in on their way home the day after New Years, a nice visit both times. Sally with the good news that she had found an inhalant that helps her with her asthma. Red told of an attack on him by a prisoner with a knife, when he saw just in time.
Thursday before New Years – Dinner at Berlins, and the usual pleasant chatty time
