Well, well another pay day. Wonderful isn't it? I can hardly wait until next pay day so I can get some money. Yes, Yes I know I'm being sarcastic but where does my money go? Marit was busy packing tonight she's leaving tomorrow. That didn't stop her from going to a dance tonight at the "Y" though. I read quite a bit of my book tonight. It gets better and better. Ev called and asked me down the shore so of course I'm going. Ruthie's been pounding on the piano of course. She's cuter than the dickens even if she is my own baby sister!! I'll bet when she grows up she beats us all for looks!

I asked Ginny up for supper tonight and she played piano for us. Poor Ginny this used to be one place she could get away without playing but those days are over since we got the piano. I called Karin up at Christin's as prearranged but she after much tweedle decided to take the bus up because she had her high heels on. Ginny and I walked to Dotty's. When we got there we were informed when Karin called that she was so tired and etc so she had gone home instead. Well we had a nice meeting. It started to rain but Noa's folks came and took us all home. I was so glad and so were the rest of the girls. Hazel made ice cream sodas for us tonight - good.

I decided I'd do all I could tonight and I did. I washed clothes and put up my red dress and ironed and even washed my hair! Also listened to One Man's Family and the Fight between Joe Louis and Tony Galento. Joe Louis is still champion. He knocked his opponent out in the third round. It was a darn good fight. I'm glad Joe Louis won. Well I didn't get to bed as early as planned - but who cares! Ginny's coming to supper tomorrow night and then we're going to Dot's for meeting. Oh yes I've got to see if Karin will be through with her permanent too. If she is she'll come up with us!

"Found out Eunice Engaged!"
June 27, 1939 Tuesday
Eunice is engaged to Pete! Ginny and I went up there after work but we didn't notice anything unusual. Eunice handed me the paper holding her left hand with the diamond very conspicuously as she asked, "Don't you want to see it?" But dumb me I thought she meant the paper and didn't notice the ring! She didn't say anything about it until after supper. We were sitting around the table and Mrs. Dickinson said something about us needing glasses and a little later Eunice said "Shall I show them" and her mother said "Well you're just dying to so you better". Then Eunice showed us the diamond and told us about it. She got it last Tuesday. She showed us all the stuff in her hope chest and she does have plenty. Well she's the first of my special friends to get engaged! She'll be married next year in the fall she says.

I guess the most important news of today is -- We got a piano! It's Mr. Nelson's or at least it was his before we bought it. Maybe if I can get up enough ambition and money I'll take lessons and learn how to be the Life of the Party. Won't that be wonderful?! Eunice called up tonight and asked me to her house for supper tomorrow night. She's going to have Ginny too if she can come. We should have fun. Lawrence picked some cherries across the street and came home with a big bag of them. I've been gorging myself on them. Just like me to get sick now! Heard "Mrs. Moonlight" on Lux Radio Theatre with Janet Gaynor and Herbert Marshall - about a woman who never got old!

We went down to the beach again and lounged around even if the weather wasn't any too good. Ginny came down in the afternoon and we went riding around and when we came back there was Art. He offered to drive us home. On the way we stopped to see Art's cousin Joe and Grandma Evans. Ginny had to play the piano for her but we didn't stay very long. Came home and had supper and read the funnies and part of my book. Finally I took a bath and got to bed. Next week Ev and I are going to the Clinton Town Hall Theatre and see a stage play. I can hardly wait. It should be good.

Ev came for me this morning and we went down the shore. We had dinner down there. Ev and I put on bathing suits and went down to lie on the beach, Ginny came down and brought Libs with her. After supper seeing as Libs and Ginny had gone home we decided to go to the movies. First we dropped by the "Jensen's Guest House" to see if we could take Karin with us to the movies but she was going to pick Ray up in New London so she couldn't come with us. We then went to call on Noa and Dick. Got a glimpse of Em wish we could have seen his girl but I guess she wasn't down. We went to the Saybrook Theatre and saw Alice Faye and Tyrone Power in "Rose Of Washington Square". Also "Within The Law" with Ruth Hussey and Rita Johnson who was darn cute!
