Put off washing until afternoon & surprizingly enough it all went on the lines! Think I’ll even attempt to iron it myself.
To Girl Scout Council meeting at 7:45 – Mostly committee reports. Since is was out before 9 I went out to Romine’s for about 1/2 hr. & practised serving [ping pong]. Home & popped corn for Wally. Finished “The Great Smokies & the Blue Ridge”.
Wally has been reading the fairy tale book I brought from the library for Kathy & she absorbs the ogres – giants without batting an eye & then listened to “The Hermit” stories on the radio – Very gruesome but she merely screws up her face & says “isn’t it scary?” – It evidently doesn’t bother her in any way for they are never mentioned later. The other day she said “Three things I want to do when I get big – go away to school like Auntie – go bowling like daddy – work in the bank – and be a flower and bird woman like mommy.”*
[*Kathy did these things later – Miami Universiy in 1959, worked in a flower shop in Henderson, NV and was always videotaping birds and flowers in her career as an Air Force wife. Bowling and working in a bank we’re not sure of!]
