Gas and hard times and Friday the 13th lore
The diary notes a mild winter with a few flurries and a narrowly avoided gas outage. The writer recalls Friday the 13th superstitions tied to family illness and a death, then shifts to community events including Welcome Neighbors Club Christmas party at Mazile McFall’s home, a new member, bingo gifts, and a devotional. It closes with Mrs Curtis’ poem about Christmas cards and a reflection on the meaning of Christmas.
