I couldn't pass up the golden opportunity of making a whole quarter again tonight so I worked. That makes a dollar I've earned this week with just overtime. Got my three weeks check of $44.55 and did I feel wealthy! Bought a lot of junk this noon including fishnet scarves, white, pink, and blue! Karl paid me back $10.00 last night so I'm rich! Met Eunice at the bank and she said she would come up tonight for awhile and she did! She brought Pete with her and the folks met him for the first time. They like him as who wouldn't - he's got a wonderful personality. We had ice cream and soda, Pete played the piano. He plays wonderfully. Wonder what this Plummer is like? He's going to be best man incidentally. If he's nice at all I think I'll like him, I'm in the mood to like someone. Gee I've been so busy writing about other things I haven't said a word about my vacation! Although work for two whole weeks and please let them be wonderful weeks.
P.S. Ruthie is still not feeling well I hope she recovers before I go or I'll worry so about her.

Worked till 6:00 again. It's getting to be a habit. When I think of getting a whole quarter for that extra hour well! Well maybe thats all I'm worth - I wouldn't know. I finally inveigled Karl into into driving me to Noa's and bringing back her suitcase with him. Noa bought me a white pocketbook in Hartford and she's loaning me her white gloves and fishnet belt. Sweet of her isn't it? Mrs. Guite drove us to Dotty's. Ev and Ginny came shortly after we did and we had a lovely meeting. We were all excited about Ginny's wedding plans but of course nothing is definite. Had a wonderful time eating ice cream with butterscotch syrup, sandwiches, cupcakes, orangeade. Gee Hazel is a wonderful cook.

Again I had to work until 6:00. This is getting me down. It's so hot today and so muggy. It rained - poured I should say - when we came home tonight. I've been so busy ironing clothes and getting ready but I still don't know where I'm at I suppose. Everything will be done in my customary last minute rush. I can't write my pen is terrible and my hand keeps sticking to the page. Perhaps I better get some sleep if I'm going to look my best (which is none too good) in Dear Old New York Yippie!

I had to work overtime tonight supposedly to six but actually to 6:25 and was I tired! Called Noa when I got home and talked to her for awhile. Dot's having meeting this wk. and I guess we'll all be there except Karin. I washed my new blouse and ironed some clothes. I've got my bed covered with things to take with me to New York. I can hardly wait to go. I only hope I enjoy it as much as I hope I will. It's hot tonight and I feel moody. I want to pack a bag and get out and go places. The Viking in me is on the loose again!

Here it is 25 minutes to 12 and I'm writing in my diary! I've had quite a busy day. Got both my blankets from our blanket club today. Met Noa after work and went shopping. Got a Panama hat in Parkers. Spectator shoes in John Irvings and a blouse in the Outlet. We decided we'd like to go to the movies so we went and saw Ginger Rogers and David Niven in "Bachelor Mother". It was so funny and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I've got some real news Ginny told me today she's going to get married in the spring! She's such a baby but if it will make her happy I guess its alright with me boo hoo sob sob.

"Wake up you sleepy heads"
"Aren't you ever going to get up"
I heard Ev move in bed and suppress a snicker. I kept my eyes closed tight and tried to go on sleeping but it just wasn't any use! The voice calling was Marcel's and the time (darn that guy!) was only 8:00. Well Ev and I couldn't get back to sleep so we got up and went downstairs. The rest of the family got up and we had breakfast together. Marcel and Jess asked us if we'd like to go out in the boat and we said yes. Stayed out all morning, went over to Hammonassit and Marcel treated us to 2 ice cream cones then back to dinner. Art came down and they went swimming. Art took us home and on the way something happened to his car and so he took me to Ev's house and they borrowed Mr. Roman's car to take me home.

We slept rather late this morning. Every one of the "shore" Saturdays is the same as the last one but I always enjoy them. After breakfast we took Mrs. Seibert and Grandma Greer to Clinton to shop and then back and had dinner. We put our bathing suits on but neither of us could go swimming. Well the usual routine. Well after supper we went to the movies in Clinton. We saw two pictures that we enjoyed, "Magnificent Fraud" with a new actress Patricia Morison who is simply stunning and the clothes she wore ditto also "Stolen Life" with Elizabeth Bergner who is a marvelous actress and rather cute.
