April 11, 1963
Thursday, mostly cloudy 35 hi. Snow flurries in am, about 1/2 snow in morning. I washed and hung clothes upstairs. Worked on Sue's white jacket. We went to LaVerne's at night. Earl and Bob were here when we got home.
Comment: The visitors were Uncle Earle and his step-son, Bobby Sigeritz, (not sure about the spelling), probably went to LaVerne and Roberta's for dinner. Here are a couple of pictures of where Mom might have hung the clothes upstairs, not very pretty.....this was the attic over the center part of the house and was unheated prior to this picture. This is where the kitchen water pipes usually froze and also where a fire started from faulty wiring that Dad caught just in time to prevent the whole house burning down. I remember how panicked we were as black smoke permeated the downstairs. I can still see Dad frantically beating the fire out with an old blanket. The flooring in the picture covers the severely burned floor joists...
