debs note: this is obviously an anniversary gift list, since their children and grandchildren are giving them gifts.....the color yellow is noted a lot....did they like this color? a toaster, presto cooker, lamps, electric clock, towels and sheets....dishes....kind of like the gifts you get at a wedding. I wonder if she saw the irony of the large family she raised WITHOUT a presto cooker and a breat toaster? but it's nice that they got to have these things in their later years. I recognize many of these names as family....Brown, Higdon, Utterback, Orton, Creswell, Maxwell, Beals.
