AUGUST 15
A lovely two-for-one occassion,
since it was both Mother’s birthday
and the carrying out of the extremely
happy Victory. War’s End celebration !!
Mother seemed very pleased with
her gifts and the day passed
very nicely. Our stay at the
hospital was uneventful, and
then we faced the crowds in the
city to see “Song of Norway.” It
was a charming play based on
the music of Edvard Grieg and
we both enjoyed it immensely.
The Times Square area is
blocked off up to 52 St and the
street and sidewalks both
surge with people. Flags fly
from each building. It’s a wonderful
thing.
Not quite believable side issue [is?]
the end of gas rationing & that of canned
foods
