1946 (Monday) – Washed and busy all day. Sister Baird brought the dolls, etc. by eight a.m.
About five-thirty Earl (Earl Sperry Lunt) helped me carry down to the Relief Society Room some of the equipment to be used by the entertainment committee that evening, we arranger out maypole, and about thirty dolls on the big table, the Baird’s had supplied a little red electric light which added to its attractive appearance. For refreshments, we served a half bun with cheese, etc., toasted, and a lovely fruit salad. We had some beautiful bouquets. I took my little ladies head down. Sister Woodbury had a very pretty figurine vase filled and Della Steed brought a vase, the figure of the head of Abraham Lincoln in a big stove pipe hat, which was filled with pretty flowers.
I took vases, one with a piece broken out. During the evening I told them something about those vases. Caroline Wright Pitt, my husband’s (Alfred Oscar Lunt) grandmother, had brought them her between seventy-five and eighty years ago.
The crowd was enthusiastic over the lunch and the beautiful decorations, you could hear ahs and ohs all over as they came in. The committee was thrilled, it was such satisfaction to know it had all gone through without a hitch of any kind. We were too thrilled to feel tired, even though we had to wash all those dishes after about fifty-five people had been fed.
