Dec. 25 Christmas Sunday Sylvia vomited twice in the early morning. She stayed in bed and had 101° all day but felt all right. ... her temp dropped to 100.5. Eugene and I had to go to Lils for dinner without Lil & Sylvia. We had a delicious turkey dinner. Mom and pop, Mrs. Thaw, Taubee & her husband, Phil and his son Sammy were there.
Dec. 26 Sylvia seemed all right and was up and around today. Sadie & Bernard came over for dinner with their three kids - Fredi, Arline & Robert. With five children there was a minor riot. Lil made roast beef and chicken and everything was delicious.

My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.
