Diary Entry for 12/24/1999

Sunny day. 50°. Very cold over night. The ground is still white. Great for Christmas. I baked a ham, made salad, set table, and got other stuff ready for Saturday. I can’t work very fast anymore. My hip sore today. Jim has called twice today. He called Vern. The boys are picking Merrill up at 11 PM. Joel and Camille got here about 3 PM. Took them over 17 hours because of the weather. Lake affect snow. Dan’s and Steve’s are at Vern and June’s tonight for Church and Christmas together. Wayne called and asked me to go to Christmas Eve service but I didn’t think it best to get out in the cold I opened my gift from June R. A #2 box of candy and a pair of blue bedroom slippers.
