An excerpt from my diary, January 5, 1987

Wow! 1986 was a great year.
For Thanksgiving, we ate at Gr. Brown's. He is still recuperating from open heart surgery and for the first time ever, our meal was served with paper plates and plastic utensils.
We enjoyed a classic holiday tradition doing traditional events.
We went to Century 2 to see my sister Donna and her husband Kelly perform in a living Christmas Tree which was very beautiful, then because the weather is so warm, we walked home from Century 2 to our house on South Ellis and got to see the end of the Christmas ornaments along east Douglas.
 I fixed a small brunch for Lynn Harwood, Richy Pittinger, and Maxine Harwood and John Blevins.

We ate every sugar puff.
