of his paintings. Pudu says Sera looks terrible - just awful - but he doesn't what is wrong. That evening Alvina took us over to Ed + Joy's where we had all been invited to supper. The baby is starting to walk now. 
 As I had leave after Xmas last year, I took before this year to shop, wrap, write + mail, so I had to go back to work Monday. Mama + Pudu went to the zoo to see the new giraffes. Believe it or not, but that evening we again went to a movie! Saw Coleen Moore in Twinkletoes. Mama likes her. Tuesday Mama + Pudu called on Salle + Louise and that night we called on Uncle Hugo + Aunt Alice but she was not well so Pudu has never seen her yet. The next morning he left. During the time he was here, almost a week, he sang praises of Florence. He had a nice big picture of her to show us. 
 Minnie dropped by before Xmas to leave some grape wine that she + John had made, a bottle for Alvina + one for us. Wasn't that nice? Pudu brought a fruit cake, his boss having given each man one, so we felt well taken care of. 
 Spent a very quiet old year out + new year in - didn't go anyplace + didn't do anything. New Year's day we had Ed + Joy to dinner, after they went to a movie - a very funny comedy - "We're in the Navy Now" + took me + [[Ned?]] while mama minded the baby. I made mama go later on to see it. 
  On the 2nd of Jan. all of us + the Walton's went out toward Great Falls + built a bonfire + cooked hot dogs. Sounds crazy at that time of the year, doesn't it? Now it is so cold.
