not home very long in our quiet little house when we heard what sounded like huge rocks hitting the side of the house. We just ignored the noise and in a few minutes the noise ceased. The next day Al found out it was Eddie Merrifield - one of the guys at work.

Comes the dawn and it was back to work for Al. Just as Al was leaving for work Dad Neese pulled up in his milk truck and brought us milk, butter, eggs and cottage cheese - what a great surprise. This got to be a weekly event until Dad's birthday, Feb. 3, 1936, when one of his milk customers backed out of his driveway pinning Dad against his milk truck, crushing his right leg. They took him to Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Hollywood. Mother Neese and I rode street cars to the hospital each day and Al picked us up when he got off work. Dad seemed to be doing real good and then he got a blood clot in his lung and was in an oxygen tent for several weeks and for several more weeks after he was out of oxygen tent. He sure had a very long stay in the hospital and we took the little table radio to him to help pass away the time. February is gone, but good news, he gets to come [home] next week.

Al and I are still opening gifts from Bob and Laurel Schbum, Eddie and Ellen Merrifield, John and Ethel Bateman, Bill Blevins, Al Hill and tom and Marian Salisbury, the crew at Bobs El Sereno Market.

Aunt Wanita and Aunt Maude are giving me a shower at Uncle Cecil and Aunt Maudes' home next week. I'm looking forward to seeing some of my Mama's family as well as friends and family.
