Osaka street scene, Jan. 1954

Diary Entry:  Jan. 16, 1954

"B went to Osaka to check on conversion of yen at bank.  They suggested Fulbright do it.  Planned to go to Kobe Culture Center but Ann lost her lunch.  Has a little cold so we stayed home."



Diary Entry:  Jan. 17, 1954

"Sunday, & I spent most day working on Bob's birthday cake.  Made three graduated layers but too small for a party.  Was white so made three more yellow ones.  Put all together with white icing for a huge cake & put 6 candles (green) on top."
