Diary Entry - 12/24/1988

Up a little early considering we’re in Calif. & it’s Sat. A dismal, rainy day but O.K. we’re indoors still surrounded by cardboard boxes. But as day went on we are finally just about finished. Ted, Peter & Nancy concentrated on picture hanging. At 10 A.M. I made calls to overseas forces & an individual in each of the mil. forces. They were stationed in Panama, Puerto Rico, Egypt & a little island in the Bering Sea. I made one to our Navy Man in Japan at 3 P.M. We’ve learned that Ron & Doria wont be here tonite. They are going up to Lake ArrowHead. Well they actually showed up at the Wicks after dinner. It was the usual Wicks Xmas eve party with Charlie at the piano. As usual it was a time of old friends & most enjoyable. Santas arrival is always a big moment. This time it was a well padded young lady—CZ’s fiancé. Home & to bed nearing midnight.
