Our 63rd anniversary. A sunny day. They are picking Merrill up at 8 AM for day care. He went to day care today. I went across road to see how bad the fire was. Only the shell of that beautiful home standing. Everything lost. Eugene West said they think it started from the stove. I gave him $20 to give to his sister Vanessa. Lots of cars by to see fire site. Lyla here in forenoon. Also Marge Heck. We all had a nice visit. Vern called in evening. Also Jolie called from work. I called Vivian. Jim called from mall after he and Nancy went to her Christmas party at Carriage House.
