Saw Movie, "Roman Holiday" - Thursday, June 27, 1963

Phyllis, Linda Jane and I went t the movie, "Roman Holiday," with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck tonight. It was good. We were going to take Betty, but she wasn't ready after Phyllis's twenty minute notice, so we finally just went without her after she told us to. My feature on Carol was in this evening. Now to get another one going.

Saw Municipal Band Concert - Wednesday, June 26, 1963

We girls and Betty and Mary went swimming tonight while Mr. Peters went to the meeting he thought was last night. We watched part of the municipal band concert afterwards. Three people have given me things while I have been out getting news - Mr. Kline gave me an ice cream bar, Mr. Schoonover a stick of gum, and now today, David Vanderbilt, a piece of spearmint candy. He's the new McLellan's manager and is very nice. Charlie wrote a nice social event for me - about the Y's Men "Hawaiian" night.

Went With Ruth Ann to Root Beer Stand - Tuesday, June 25, 1963

Tonight Betty, Mary, Virginia, Phyllis and I took Washington up on one of their newer entertainment features - miniature golfing. We meant to go all last summer but never got there. I won't mention my score, but it was lots of fun. I finally got a letter written to Margie. I went with Ruth Ann Wulf, who's working at the Extension Office this week while the secretary has the week off, to the root beer stand for lunch. Iris is also gone - to a home economics convention in Kansas City.

Interviewed Carol About Girls Track - Monday, June 24, 1963

Carol Whetstine came in this afternoon and I interviewed her about girls track. Bob took some pictures of her and some of the trophies she and the girls have won. She brought Linda Timmins along. I also went to the swimming pool on my way home and asked Cheryl Anderson about Girls State. I wrote the story about Carol tonight. I got a letter from Vivien. She wants to know my measurements for the bridesmaid's dress.

Saw "On the Beach" on TV - Sunday, June 23, 1963

These fast weekends. I got the weddings written, but no letters - maybe someday. I had to take time out tonight to watch most of "On the Beach" on television again. Peters were here for dinner. We girls played croquet after dinner, and then we had fun playing "You Don't Say" - using clues to guess names of people.

Eggs, Onions and Flowers From Grandma's - Saturday, June 22, 1963

I didn't do much this afternoon - lazy me. The kids went swimming with Timminses, but I didn't have that much ambition on my only free afternoon of the week. Mom and I went out to Grandma's this evening to get eggs, onions and flowers. My flowers from Mrs. Cowan are doing very nicely. These weeks are going so fast I can't believe it. 

Have Saved by Making Dresses - Friday, June 21, 1963

I left the Journal office at 4:15 today and came on home. Then Mom, the girls and I drove down to Fairfield since Peggy had called us earlier this week about a fabric sale at their fabric shop. I got three nice pieces, one dark pink for a dress and some orange for a slim dress and orange and pink stripe for a jacket to go with it. In Spurgeon's I found an off-white dress of nice material that I couldn't resist buying for $5.00. I'll have made quite a saving on the dresses I make since I got the patterns so cheap, too. I ate at the State Café again. I had to wait for a second lunch - the waitress dropped mine!
