December 7
Today it was 40 years since they Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. There was a lot of publicity in the news and on T.V. a lot of veterans were interviewed and honored. They deserve every word of praise that they received, and much, much more. It was also the battle of the budget. The comm’s didn’t even go out for luncheon. I went over to the drive-in and picked up a burger supreme, which they enjoyed along with a malt. I had a hot dog and a diet Sprite. The rest of the day and the next (Dec. 8) I was getting odds and ends tied up from the meeting.

I took the day off and went to town Christmas shopping. I had a very enjoyable and profitable day. I went over to work for a while then to the middle school for Lisa’s play “HMS Pinafore”. Lisa was in the chorus. She looked so grown-up. After this we went to the class and again we felt more than repaid for having attended. Also, today was Katie’s birthday. I gave her a card with some $1.00 bills and then some coins taped to the one page. She had been reminding me of this for 6 months.
