Wednesday, December 25, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


December 25, 1963
Patty And Dean
Wednesday, Christmas.  Lovely warm day.  We were at Marilyn's for dinner and supper.  Took a couple short rides.  Jim, the boys, Fred, Anda and Joyce went hunting in am.  Kathy Raymond and Patty Whitcomb were at Marilyn's at night and played 42 with the boys till 3 am.  Dougie called in am from Virginia and told us the Gilboa post office had burned.
Comment: Another Christmas. I think the Gilboa post office building was the house Dad and Mom rented from Bruce Buel and at that time, had a view of the Gilboa Reservoir. LaVerne can remember living there...I believe Uncle Merel either worked at the post office when it burned or may have been the post master. Here is information about the game of "42" that we used to play a lot.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(dominoes)

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
