INA'S CHRISTMAS MEMORIES, DAY 16

Weather is bright and cold, the ground frozen hard. It is making water scarce and we need lots more moisture but we do enjoy the bright days, for we had so much fog and frost and gloom for a while. – Ina, 1935

“Let’s see -- the Christmas of ’35,” says Ina to herself. “Yes, Vance had sent holly and candles – such a treat and beautiful on the mantel! Such a pretty red! And I was careful not to burn them too long at one time in order to keep them as long as possible. Vance has such a wonderful imagination and does the nicest things!

 

“We were as well as usual that winter. We slept long and ate heartily.” KW
