Kids went to bed at 12:30 & I burned 1/3 pkg of tea & waited a hr before it cought & finally burned, fire place fire was about out. I've made up my mind to stop breaking the word of Wisdom & recking my health with the awful habit I've had for 10 yrs., of drinking iced tea. Another New Years resolution, I'm going to try very hard to loose a lot of weight starting in the morning, Jan 1st, I also am going to write my history this year & try very hard to do a lot of genelogy.

I'm going to try very hard to be a better wife & mother and go to church more. I pray the lord will help me to keep these resolutions in this brand new year.

It is now 2:20 A.M. already that old, I hope it is a good year for our family

I'm going to bed now & will pray that it will be.
