Aunt Vera's Diary - January 17th

In the summer of 2019, I was able to photograph the entries in the diary of my maternal great-aunt, Vera (Haley) Stuber.  The entries cover the years from 1968-1971 time frame and provide an interesting view of her daily activities. Items in brackets are my notes for further research.

Clarence went for chicken feed and groceries.  I have a cold now.

Didn't do much today.  Cold but no snow yet.

[These entries a bit confusing, as January 15, 1970 was a Thursday, 1971 it was a Friday - but the order of the entries make it look out of sequence]
