Celebration

(1993 February 24)

I have just come from the dining room where all the revels are held. I sat next to Margaret Scott, who was busy holding sips of a beverage, pink, to celebrate MardiGras, to the lips of a poor one who could not raise the glass herself. Our priest was here earlier with HolyCommunion for me.

Flasher

A girl on duty goes with flashlight and flashes in every face. Is this to determine life or death? I don't know. Figure out a way to scare her out of it for me.

Snow day

(1993 February 22)

Sharlee Sharteeno, our weather man, told of No School all over today due to big drifts of snow over the road. Jealous, Sally? The plows will be out shortly tho. Last night the high wind went Ooooooooo. I just saw a plow with blinking lights go by, yet the wind shaking the trees. Thermomenter [in her room] 80 degrees- must be out of order.

Animal shy

(1993 February 9)

Had a man here with animals - a white rabbit, a cat, a goat. Margaret Scott stopped in later and said she didn't go. They never had animals at home, and she thot they might hurt her.

I have just come from supper, where little girls dressed in white with little white caps serve our meal oh so nicely.

Creamed

(1993 February 8)

Bill took me to doctor today, and he [the doctor] saw rash on ankle. I took along creams I had, and he said they were just the ticket; no $ for medicine was needed.
