Whoopee Xmas. Ha! Ha! Well we gave Sis Pijuan the 6th this morning. We went over their about nine. She made us some hot choc. (ovaltine) and we had a fruit cake. Also some Spanish Candy. Sis Draxler and grandson were there also. They left and then we gave the disc.
Then we went to Bishop Rich and had a very marvelous turkey dinner. Pumpkin pie and the works. I tried to call Jeanette for 2 ½ hrs. Finally I got a line through and no one was home. We just talk and have a good time. Then about 3:30 or so we left and we[nt] over to the Opps and just socialized for a while. I jump[ed] on the trampoline. Anyway this one time I was getting off and I stepped on a chair that wasn’t too steady and I fell on my head. I really cut my finger, thumb up good. (For the morning at the apt. I had already cut my other thumb on the tap in the bathtub. They call me Grace.) We then left Opps and went home, clean[ed] up and went to King's for another turkey dinner. Boy, was I ever full. We sang Xmas carols and just really had a good time. Then I called home. I talked to Sue, Sandra, Mom, Dad, and Jeanette was there. Sorta miss on her phone call But I’ll call New Year's Day. Her mom said I could call collect for my Xmas present. Oh well. Anyway we just had a gay and glorious Xmas. I really enjoyed myself although I sure miss the kids and the family. Good night.
