(Rosa and Orby have a home on Douglas Avenue, Cooper Township, Kalamazoo Michigan. They have had 2 homes in Portage Michigan since they lived on the farm in Vicksburg. I do not know how many homes they own and rent in 1960. Maybe we will find an answer in the diaries.)

Started home from Arizona, hated to leave Merle's but thought we would. Better get home.

Got home from Arizona at 4:30 o'clock, went to Daisy's after key and I stayed there while Dad and Ike come to start the furnace and found our house had been on fire, and we sure had a mess to clean up. We were on the road 5 nights. (It was a furnace backfire of sorts, it was not burnt, but oily smoke coated everything.)

Was to Orphas and stayed for Christmas. Dennis was there. (Claudia's beau)

Had Christmas dinner with Orpha and Bud. I was pretty down hearted as the trouble we had with the fire.
