Went bowling again tonight and my scores were 82 and 74 which is better than I usually get. Mom wrote a letter to K.H. and sent it Special Delivery so we should hear from him if he's worth hearing from. I really think Uncle Hans would like us to go back to Norway after all Dad is his only brother living. I think I would like it but of course one never knows! Well Rachel seems to think I would and I really feel as if thats where I belong. Now another day is over and I'm so very tired I've just got to get to bed!

The girls in the office all wanted to hear about my cousin so I said the little I could without really saying anything. I had hoped Mom would get a telephone call from him but no one had called. At least he could call the way he promised to do! Ginny and I went to see Deanna Durbin in "First Love" and it was wonderful. Deanna's grown up now and so sweet. The co-feature had Basel in it and Sigrid Gurie "rio" was the name of it and I didn't care much for it. I stopped in at I stopped in at Michael's and got my dinner plate from the nice salesman (They only gave me eleven).

Slept until after noon as we didn't get to sleep until 4:00 this morning and we came home without K.H. who absolutely refused to go with us and so that is that. Mom feels very bad about it and so does Pop now that it's too late. Well I guess we have to take the bad with the good and that's what Mom does and trust her to see the humorous side of it! I stayed in all afternoon and fixed my new dress and played with Junior. He's more and more getting into my heart. No one in his right mind could help but love that sweet little darling.

I don't know what to write, I'm so heartsick I can't even cry. We got up early and the painters came and finished their work. Mom and Dad and I and Ruthie and Lawrence worked like beavers until we had the house looking grand and all in order. Then the phone rang and it was our cousin and he couldn't come because he was expecting an important telegram from Norway so Mom unsuspecting soul suggested that we go to Boston and talk to him so he was delighted at that plan and it ended up with Karl, Pop, and I going. We met him and the captain who is very nice. K.H. isn't very good looking but he's nice enough. Well Pop got feeling good and brought up the old trouble about uncle Hans and he - and poof that was that!

I had lunch downtown again this noon and went shopping afterwards. Bought a plant, some beautiful Artificial Flowers and on the way home tonight stopped at Birnbaums and got a peach bathmat and etc. We worked like the dickens and the home looks lovely. All done except the washroom which they will do tomorrow morning. Marit, Ruthie, and I took baths upstairs in Rachel's house. The floor in our bathroom isn't dry enough yet. What a busy life we lead up with the seen and to bed early in the morning. Well anyhow the house looks wonderful and we've got draperies in the dining room and a new rug and gee it's wunnerful!

I got up quarter after six this morning because the painters were coming at seven. When I woke it was snowing! Of course soon as the sun came up the snow disappeared. We ate breakfast in the dining room we're getting real ritzy! I had lunch downtown and met mother and we went over to Michaels where that nice looking clerk waited on us. We bought a 12 piece dinner set plain white with gold edge and very rich looking I think. This is will be Karl and my Christmas gift to Mom. Well it's worth it we'll have everything all fixed up for our cousin when he comes to see us. I don't see how the painters are ever going to get finished by Sat! Ginny told me a secret, she and John have picked out their engagement ring and wedding ring!

Another girl told me something no one else knows so far. She's leaving her job, got a gov't position in Washington. I think I'd like to do something like that. Be on my own for awhile anyway. We've been so busy tonight, Marit cleaned the Living Room extra special and it looks grand. I bought a bedroom lamp for Mom's room and other small articles, tie rack etc. The painters are coming tomorrow at 7:00 am so that means we'll have to get up an 1/2 hr earlier and I'm going to take a sandwich with me to work so I won't have to come home noon hour. Well I better get some sleep now if I can. I'm so excited!
