Diary Entry for 12/14/1998

Another great day. Sunny 31°. I washed all the windows on the outside of the house. They were smoky from the house fire across the street Thursday evening. Merrill went to day care. He didn’t feel good when he got home. He didn’t sleep at all last night. He wouldn’t eat supper. I got Christmas cards with notes from Rhonda, Leon and Elmer. Elmer not good. Dr. says he will live 6-12 months. Also from Darcie, Loren S, Card from Howard and Evelyn. Shawn Michael called to thank me for his Highlights for children magazine. He stated getting it today.
