Mid-January of 1983 included lots of tasks accomplished, like everything she writes. There was getting her parents off to Pennsylvania after attending Lisa's wedding, getting the newlyweds out the door and accounting for gifts. She also mentions Lisa selling her piano. On January 15 she mentions her and Dad picking up a Basset hound named Sadie, born November of 1981. About the dog she particularly notes, "Fred loves her."
Later that week, January 18, Dad picked up "our cut up cow". For many years they raised a few steers and kept a nice full freezer of beef. She noted that counting all costs they paid about $0.50 per pound. That included buying, feeding, and butchering the steer. Not a bad deal. That same day she notes that Dan got the braces taken off of his teeth, and mentions that his teeth "are beautiful." Really Dan? Are your teeth beautiful?
The next day a snow storm dropped 17 inches at their house.
