"I went to Osaka with Winnie to Xmas shop. Got tree ornaments & a few little things. Ann really sick & feverish, seemed a little better when I got back. B had E.S.S. here at 4:30."
"E.S.S. in afternoon."
"Bob back in school. Finally agreed to take a sandwich and mikan. After lunch went with Winnie to Women's meeting at Kobe Union Church. She was a hostess. Had a nice Xmas program & then tea. Women mostly poor--many German widows of Japanese men. After tea got some meat & vegetables. Winnie got to talking & drove toward Osaka."
"The sun is still shining & it's not too cold. Ann and I made some Xmas cookies while Bob was at school. Then we gathered evergreens and made a centerpiece for the buffet. Kita-san took children for a walk and I baked two more batches of cookies."
NOTE: The small items pictured above really are small--none bigger than about 3" tall. The first is a soy sauce pitcher, next a porcelain figurine, the baby bird is a toothpick holder, and the clay owl is a whistle.
My favourite item is the clay owl because I have been a lifelong collector of all things owl.
