June 1972
June 1, 1972
June 1 and only '5' more days of school left. whoopie. When Cheryle came over this morning, I got all my things together because I'm spending the night at her house. After school, we had to wait for Mrs. V to take us home, and then we wanted to work on the practice set and get it finished, but we had to get the adding machine first. Anyway, that took quite awhile and it was the grand opening of K-Mart, so we went there and wow was it crowded! Even worse than Sears. I saw these hamsters for only 87 cents and I just HAD to get one. Who cares what mom says. Anyway, I got him and named him Oscy (Oscar) like the book "Summer of '42". We ate at K-Mart. It was kinda fun. We finally got started on Bookkeeping at 8:30, but I got tired at about 10:00, so I started knitting and we are getting to bed at 11:30.
June 2
We went to bed at 11:30, but we didn't get to sleep until 2:00 a.m. We had a beautiful talk, that I want to tell Richard about so bad!! But he's gone and do I ever miss him!!!! We had to get up at 7:00, so we didn't get much sleep, that's for sure. We came to my house and I hid Oscy because I'm going to see how long it takes them (my parents) to know I have him.
School was an absolute blast! Today! Mike came walking in real late with his hair cut off and everybody split (laughed), including EW. It was sooo funny. We didn't have Biology. He let us do Bookkeeping instead, which was good except I'm stuck - all the way. Richard - I need you! Help!
After school, I went to K-Mart and got a cage for Oscy. Right now he's trying to get out pretty bad and I think I'm tired, so I'll go to bed. It's 9:00 (early). I sure hope Richard made it OK - Good Night Richard, I love YOU!!!!
June 3
I had to play the piano for the Juniors again today and then I went into the Youth and nobody was there hardly. So we decided to go to the adults. It was OK, I guess. Pastor M gave the sermon on marriage and love. It was pretty good. I sure wish Richard could have been there though. I sat in the balcony and it was empty, because everybody was at MBA because of graduation, etc.
After church, I asked Pastor M for a copy of that poem he gave us the other day, and he said OK. At about 4:00 I called Sue. I mean Sue called me, and we went down to the beach, and we saw Pastor M. Anyway, we climbed around on the rocks etc. and got crabs and starfish, etc. Then we went home and went to Ed's party. It was really a weird one, but I love their house! I didn't get home until about 12:15. Zonk!
June 4
Today was rather busy. I got up quite late, because I went to bed so late last night. When I got up, I started cleaning my room, because the thought of Bookkeeping made me sick. At about 10:00, I finally got started on the lawn. At 11:00, Michele came over and she helped me a little, and I gave her a bunch of stuff. Michele really liked Oscy. Altho' he slept all day. My mom and dad found out I had him last night, because his exercise wheel kept squeaking - it kept me awake too, so I oiled it.
I rearranged my room a little, but not much. Ed and Steve called and asked me about Bookkeeping and I said they were crazy if I had done anything on it (Ed has called me before). I finished one slipper forRichard, by the way, he's on his way home - I don't know what time he'll get here , but I sure hope he makes it - because I LOVE HIM.
June 5
This is the beginning of the last week of school. Only 3 days left! It was a very boring day of school - really. But what can you expect for the last week? In Biology, Mr H gave us an open book test, which I am grateful for. In PE we had to play a game and we lost, as usual.
After school, I did Biology till I got tired of it, and then I took a shower and played with Oscy. Then I was getting all uptight about seeing Richard. I couldn't stand it (because when I looked out the window and saw Bill (Richard's brother that just graduated) I got all shook - because Bill wasn't supposed to even come. So I walked to Sue's and back and Richard came over and was I ever glad to see him!! Even if he did get his hair butchered. We stayed up and did Bookkeeping and talked until 11:30 etc. etc....
June 6
Two more days of school left and the final tests are starting to come! An all morning one in Geometry. I got a B on it, which I thought was good, considering the subject. During lunch break, some of us were trying to study and Otis comes in and starts bugging us to death - it made me soo mad!!! But he finally left. In PE it was our turn to play on the bars and was it ever fun! But oh my aching hands.
After school, I did Bookkeeping and more Bookkeeping until I was sick of it. So I studied Religion and English and then I went downstairs and the boys were listening to records and Richard called and they wouldn't let me talk to him or anything and I was sooo mad! So he called later. We didn't have a meeting because of finals, etc. and he couldn't come over so G.N. (good night)
June 7
Well, I can't find my pen - but what do you expect when it's 1:30 a.m. so this is really June 8 (this entry is written in red ink). I'll explain the situation later. We got our annuals (yearbooks), so we went around and had everybody sign them - I think they're a little bit better than last years. We had our final in English and I'll bet I flunked! But I got 103 over 105 in Religion - very good! I was so surprised! But in Bookkeeping, I was stuck all the way - the work sheet was all wrong! and nothing worked out - so we all gave up. I know I flunked Biology, but who cares?
After school, I did nothing and we (Richard and I) went to prayer meeting in SC and we stayed until everyone left and then we held hands and walked up the middle aisle and prayed - it was cool. Then we did Bookeeping until it was all finished 1:30 a.m. - sick z-z-z-z-z-z.
June 8
Cheryle came over and woke me up and we had our last breakfast together!
THE LAST DAY!! I'm sad, but I'm also glad. All morning was track and field day, so I ran around and got autographs. then I bugged Steve. Poor guy, but I won't be able to bug him anymore, sigh. I think I'll cry. Now let's not get emotional!
In the afternoon, I brought Oscy to school and he had a blast. In chapel, I got a typing honor. We didn't have to have a bookkeeping test!! Oh WOW!! At 2:00, I left and I didn't even say bye to Steven - it makes me feel rotten. Donna almost started bawling too.
After school, I started cleaning up my room some more and Richard called and we went to graduation and Bill was there. Oh wow - is he cool - but I think Cindy N likes him - sick and Donna was SO mad at her because she was with Larry and it's so funny!! Richard came over and had strawberries.
June 9
Hey, I found my pen! What a busy hectic day! I had to get up at 7:45 and go to MBA to register for school next year. Michele went with me and I have a FULL schedule next year. I didn't see about a job or anything, because Mr. W was gone. Pam G worked it out for us - after that, we went to the berry farm but they don't need any more pickers - so I'm going to be bored to death all June.
After I got home, I finished up my room and does it ever look empty, and clean for once. I don't keep my room messy, but not perfect either. Richard called and then he made me talk to Bill and then Richard, and I was all mixed up! Then later Bill called, and I talked to him because Rich was busy. They had a little meeting at Arvie's. Only four people. Otis, Bill, Rich, and me - the only girl. Arvie was at PUC. But it was fun. Then we took Bill home and they made me try to drive - it was sick and Bill didn't want to go in because his mom was with an old man - so I brought them to my house and fed them some of the strawberry pies I made - they liked them OK. By the way - I fixed supper too. So now I'm zonked and it's after 11:00 - good night!
June 10
What a day!! I got up and went to church and played the piano for the Juniors. The Youth class was pretty full because of MBA. Wally and Loretta gave their testimony and they took the whole time - it was really good!! I sat with Richard and Bill in church and Mr H had the sermon - it was about David and it was OK.
After church, I ate and then Rich called and mom and dad let him borrow our car - and we went to singing bands. It was OK. Then Rich and I went to Jim A's house and visited with him for awhile, then we came to my house and had strawberries - Oh yes, we called Sue and she joined us, then we went to the beach and had a blast! Then we went to the S church social at the campgrounds and it was an absolute blast - but guess who broke a (? can't read my writing!)? me of course. We had Rick's car then and we had Bill and Sue (come with us) up to "our place" and then we drove around SC for awhile. It was really fun and afterwards Richard said he was hooked on me for sure.
June 11
My dad came in at 8:00 and woke me up and was I ever mad! He put the hoses etc out so I got up and watered the lawn. Then Cheryle called and wanted to go on a hike and I said "forget it". Then I sat out and caught some bugs for a collection - now that I don't need it - maybe if I turn it in late I'll still get a grade? Then I cleaned out Oscy's cage and watered my african violets.
This afternoon I was real rambunxious to cook, so since we had a lot of apples with nobody around to eat them, I baked a pie. While that was baking, I played tennis against the wall and these 2 boys picked up the balls for me. I was hot and icky from tennis so I took a shower and ate (the pie was delicious, even if I must say so myself). Then I went to Sue's and we watched TV until 11:30 or so.
June 12
I wanted to sleep in today since I haven't been getting much sleep lately, but mom came in and played with Oscy and then she told me to clean up the kitchen and gave me instructions etc. So I got up and started cleaning the kitchen - man, what a job! I got tired fast and quit at noon and went out to look for bugs. Then I read and put up a real good picture of Jesus on my wall. Then I took a nap, and while I was doing that, Richard called and asked me to play tennis and I agreed. In the meantime my mom was getting all riled up over my brother and Ray - wow - was I glad to get out of the house.
We went to the tennis courts at SC. We played from 7:45 - 9:15 - it was a blast, but it got dark and since we weren't tired, we decided to go to the boardwalk. We got an all night pass - where you can go on any of the rides for as many times as you want until 11:00 for a special price. It was a BLAST. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. Only thing is I kept squashing poor Richard and he wouldn't let me hold onto the ride - At 11:00 we went on the Ferris Wheel and we were the only ones on it and Richard nodded to the operator to stop and he stopped us at the top to kiss - but we didn't and it was so funny!!! We went on every ride, except for 2 and the only reason we didn't go on those is because we ran out of time. Afterwards, he didn't want to take me home, so we went to the lookout and gazed at the stars - and- each other- well, it was 12:00 when we left and I bawled him out all the way home - poor guy!
June 13
My diary was on loan today, so I used a piece of paper and now I will recopy what I wrote on that. Richard wanted to read my diary - so I let him.
Today mom came in early and was talking to Oscy etc. and woke me up, then she was telling me all the things I have to do today, so I got up and started cleaning up the kitchen again. Mom came home at noon and stayed, because she wasn't feeling well, so I plugged away at the kitchen until 2:30, till I was finished, but I was dog tired, so I fixed some popcorn and talked to mom and played with Oscy. Then Rich called and then Michele called and gave me an offer for 2 jobs, which I am very grateful for. Then Richard called again, about the prayer meeting, and he asked me to have Pizza, but I said no. Then I played tennis until Richard and the group came and had the meeting. I decided to go to bed early 9:30 - z-z-z-z-z-z.
June 14
I took my books to Mrs F to sell and my bug collection to Mr H (for Biology) even if it is a LITTLE late - but mom made me - so what could I do?
Dad came in at 7:00. Oh was I mad. He wanted me to get up and water the lawn, but I wouldn't, so I got up at about 8:30 and then I started to water the lawn, and I vacuumed the steps and started to clean the stove and was it ever filthy - you wouldn't BELIEVE!! That took most all day - Then I made some banana cake, because we have so many bananas and don't know what to do with them. I took a shower and ate. Richard called and we had to go to a committee meeting for a SAYU talent program at 6:30 and at 7:30 I had to play the piano and Richard had song service for prayer meeting at SC. Then Richard was telling me all about this diary and Bill was bored, so we sent him home and I gave Rich some cake. He loved it and so did Bill (he had to pick us up) and I gave him some. He liked it - shock - because he thinks he is such a "superior" cook. We went to Rich's and read this (diary) and sent Bill out, but he came in at 11:00 and started getting undressed, so we left and talked at my house until 12:00 and Ray etc. was bugging me - funnee..
June 15
Oh the luxury of sleeping in!!!! I got up at 9:30 and ate quite a large breakfast. Then I went to Ray's shoe repair shop and visited Michele. Yesterday, I forgot to tell you about my job! I'm bookkeeper for Ray and the shop. Well, I stayed there for a couple of hours and then I went to Sue's and she wasn't even up yet and it was after 1:00!! And I thought I was lazy. Good grief. I left after awhile and read this (diary) from where we left off last night until the end and then I went to sleep. At 5:00, I heard mom, and later found out she had the afternoon and Friday (tomorrow) off, so I got up and ate and listened to records and then we went grocery shopping and I saw daddy H and we talked etc. Then we came home and Ray brought "Tommy" "The Who" back, and I listened to it through. It takes a couple of hours - but I love it and missed it!!!! Nighty Night. 10:05.
June 16
My dad decided to start mowing the lawn at 7:30 this morning and was I ever mad. Then mom came in, so I got up. She wanted me to go do some things for her that took all morning. Then I had to clean the living room etc. and mom payed me $10 for everything.
I finally wrote Donna and David a letter. This afternoon we went to the Cheese Factory and on the way we saw an accident happen. A truck turned over - it was weird. Then we went to the Drug Abuse Center and they have tapestry's for $55. Real good - so Donna and I might get one - I have to find out how big the rooms are first though.
I played the piano this afternoon from 7:30 until 9:00 - wow - it was fun though. Then Rich came over and got his coat and left. He doesn't know it, but I think I'm mad at him - he had to practice his Sax.
June 17
Everybody got up so late this morning, so we rushed around and I ended up with my brother in Ray's VW, which isn't too cool. I played the piano for the Junior's and Michele listened to me. Then we went in the Youth room and Michele sat on one side and Sharon on the other. Rich was playing his Sax, and when he came in he had to sit by himself. Hee Hee. That's not nice. Then I sat in the balcony while he played and then he sat with me upstairs.
After church was blah - I didn't do much of anything. Then dad went to communion, but I didn't want to, so I stayed home. Then mom and dad went shopping, but they wouldn't let me go because of Rich - who was supposed to come over - I wanted to go shopping, but being with Rich is better. He came and then Ed called and asked me to play tennis and Steven will be there! I'm so excited, I probably won't be able to sleep!!!! Richard and I caught up on all the news while he held me - it was fun!!!! But I sent him home at 11:00 because he has to work tomorrow.
June 18
I got a letter from Donna and I wrote her one back!! I got up fairly early this morning because I couldn't sleep good, because I rested so much. On top of that, I got a kink in my neck. Well anyway, I got up and watered the lawn and washed mine and my brothers sheets and gave dad his father's day gift - a terry cloth shirt to wear on the trip. Then Michele came over and we were coloring in our "Peanuts" book. Then Ed called and said to come and Michele wanted to come too, so we got on my little putt putt bike, with me on the handle bars and her leg power and we started off - you should have seen the looks people gave us - it was funny!
After we got to the courts, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the boys to come, then we got a court and started warming up and this guy came up and wanted to play doubles - so we did for awhile until Steven's dad came. Wow what fun, except I was on Ed's team - but that was fun too. Ed and I played until about 3:30 and we were real tired, so we just sat and had a very enjoyable chat and he gave me a bunch of candy - sigh. Then his mom came (Oh Michele didn't want to play - so she just watched until her mom came).
I went to Long's and got my brother a belt for graduation (real cool) and some photo album pages. Then I went to Sears to get some yarn, but they didn't have the right kind, so I left. Oh yes, at the tennis courts, I saw Bill and I waved, but I guess he didn't see me - I think he was going to Bev's. The belt I got for my brother was too big, so I had to take it back and exchange it. He liked it lots. Well, that's about all that happened today.
I like Steven, but I LOVE Richard-------
June 19
Mom kept coming into my room this morning, so I asked her what she wanted and she goes "don't you know that VBS (Vacation Bible School) starts at 8:30?" And I go, "what?" And she goes "Yes". It was 8:00, so I got up and rushed around, because I thought it started at 9:30 or so. When I got there I had to start registering the students and then work in crafts until 12:00 - what a hectic deal - wow!!
When I got home I had to clean the upstairs. Then I started making a dress. I have a lot of sewing to do, and such little time to do it in. I read in the Bible and then I made a dress for my doll. Then Leland P came over and wanted to see the gym for the thing on Sunday and he said I had to do the art work for it - sick and Mrs R hasn't said anything to me about it. Rich came over to give me a book for the meeting tomorrow night and that's all - he had to go to a corn roast, so I have hardly seen him at all. Well gotta go - it's 10:10.
June 20
Got up early to go to VBS. It was hectic as usual, but I enjoy it. In the afternoon, I started a dress (the one from my banquet dress (the one with Steven)). I studied the lesson for tonight and ate etc. Then Richard came and we went to the meeting and Bill kept on bugging me and it was making me sick. After the meeting, I asked Rich if he would help me put the backdrop up for the program on Sunday and he said yes, so we worked on that until 1:30 a.m. and I'm zonked. Richard is sure a HONEY!!! WOW!!!!
P.S. Michele came over and showed me her dreams etc.
June 21
Mrs. L picked us up for VBS and it was rush, rush all day. We are making flowers now and what a mess and I was tired from last night. When I got home, I had to water the lawn, and while I did that I worked on my dress some more and then I worked on a jigsaw puzzle. After I ate, I decided to take a quick shower, so I did. Rich called while I was in the shower, so he talked to my mom (help!!) until I got out, then I talked to him. He wanted me to go to prayer meeting at SC, but I wanted to go to S - so I did (I told Cheryle to come too), but they didn't have one because of VBS, so we got in her truck and we went to SC and Rich was surprised to see us , but he came and sat by me. Then we left and I helped Leland cover bottles for the program Saturday night.
June 22
No entry
June 23
Had to get up early again to help at VBS. Thank goodness it's Friday!!! After working all morning Mrs. R, the lady that cleans the church, reminded me that I was to help her clean, so I was vacuuming and Sue didn't come, so I called her, so she came, so we worked until 3:00. Then we left and I got some yarn and thread (spending all my money!). And then we were looking around at Hart's and I saw this real cool material for pants - it's soft - real boss-o. It was on sale for 99 cents a yard, so I got 1 1/2 yards of blue - so my pants only cost $2.09 to make - far out!!!
Rich called and we went to Arvie's and "shot the bull" there until 11:00. And I went out and was talking to Alice - she's really pretty cool - not what I had her as being (in the (my) mind) we talked about Rich some until he came.
June 24
Well, I had to play the piano for Juniors again - didn't do too bad. Michele came and wanted me to talk, but Rich was waiting, so I persuaded them to sit with me. I sat with Rich in church and the VBS kids sang the opening song 'Jesus Loves Me'. Then Pastor M gave the sermon - a story for the kids on Moses, it was pretty good. After church Mom invited Rich home for dinner, so he was playing his Sax for us and I took some pictures of him - Then we went to Big Basin and took a hike. We were supposed to be back at 5:00, but we didn't get back until 6:00 - cause we got lost. It was a blast!! And on the way back, I was laying my head down on his lap and that was groovy. After sundown vespers - a good program- we had to set up the gym for the program tomorrow - What a job!!!
Heart drawings all around "I LOVE Richard."
June 25
I got up at the leisurely hour of 9:00, I believe. I don't know, because I think my watch stopped. Well, I got up and watered the Dorcas lawn and Mrs. P paid me - good!! Because I was broke! While I did that, I cleaned my room and Oscy's cage - I think he is sick. Maybe something we fed him? I don't know, but I hope he gets over it.
I finished the green dress I started, so I could wear it tonight and also made my pants - LOVE them!! Except one of the buttons broke, and I had to use different buttons.
I took a shower and Rich came over - he was wearing some of Bill's clothes and he looked SUPER !! I'm going to have to get some pictures. Well, we went over to the program and it wasn't very organized really, but it was good anyway. A shame not too many people came. Hocus Pocus was there!! I remember him - wow! Rich had to play for the program, so I had to be back stage and be his self confidence and hold his hand etc.!! It was fun though. Afterwards Rich gave me some flowers and we took his mom home, then we went to help clean up, which wasn't much fun with a dress on!! So I had Rich take me home - It was a BLAST!!!
I L O V E R I C H ! ! ! (really now, let's not get too overly excited)
June 26
VBS again - oh ick - but only 3 more days - whoopie!! I really didn't do too much today, but I was tired, but that's no excuse because Mrs R didn't get in until 2:30 a.m. this morning. Poor lady.
After I got home, I ate spaghetti left over from last night - we have so much - it'll be running out of our ears! Before you know it. I read some from THE Book and fell asleep until 6:30 when Rich called - so I sounded wide awake for him, I bet!! ha ha. Well, the reason he called was to play tennis. I agreed, so we went to the high school and they were full, so we went to UCSC and we actually found the tennis courts! Anyway we went back to SCHS and Bill dropped us off, but we couldn't play because of lessons and we didn't have a car so we went to the High School and messed around until 8:00 and we played until 9:00 when Bill came and I made Rich go home and to bed - hopefully. Now - what about me?
June 27
Got up early for VBS. It was kinda boring because it seems like all the kids already know what they're doing.
I crochet some this afternoon and Rich called and said he was off work for the rest of the day, so he came over and geve me a book to study, etc. Then I painted mom's ceramics all afternoon. I hope she's happy now. Oscy is real sick and I hope he gets better. I cleaned out his pen etc. because he has diarrhea - P. U.!!!!
Rich and the group came and we had the meeting - it was ok. Then Rich stayed until Bill came and picked him up.
I'm getting SICK of writing in this stupid book!!
June 28
The last day of crafts and VBS - for me anyway. So Mrs. R was generous and let us take home all the craft stuff we wanted to, so I did. After I got home Oscy was dead - it was so sad. I found a box that fit perfect and I wrapped him all up and put him in that and gave him a funeral and a grave with flowers and a cross. Then I took a picture of it. Boo Hoo.
Then I started making the birdhouse and Rich called and was off work, so he came over and we goofed off and I had him bake a cake, etc. and he stayed for supper and we went to the swamp and it was ick and I told Richard I was leaving, so I left and he stayed , so I went home and I had to call Greg - and Donna - but I didn't get to talk long enough. Then my aunt gave me a birthday present $16.00. Wow! She's not going on the trip with us because she is going to Illinois with Ms Z - a sort of relief, but I suppose I am getting used to her, even if she does bug me and get on my nerves sometimes.
Then Bill called and wanted to know where Rich was ??? Then he came walking in - so I talked to him for a long while, poor Richard!!!!! But now I feel a little bit resentful towards him and I don't know why????
P.S. I get another Oscy because mom said it was her fault that he died.
June 29
Guess what I have? Poison Oak - ick!! From that stupid swamp and it's all over my face - now won't I just look grand for Mike? Sick.
I got up at 8:00, but I didn't go to VBS because they didn't work on crafts or anything, so I went to visit Michele. She was lonely because Ray is gone. So I took pity and visited her. At noon we went to her house and back again. After awhile I left and finished Richard's birdhouse and I took a shower and Michele called and wanted me to go to a movie, but I went to the VBS graduation instead. Michele came over and gave me a birthday present "Wild Meadow" spray cologne. I like it a lot. I saw all my old friends. Cool.
Mom just told me she is going to give me $150 for the trip - wow!
June 30
If I thought I had poison oak last night - you should see it now!! All over my face and lips and its starting to ooze all over - ick.
I had to help Ranele clean the church this morning and afternoon and was it ever HOT - with poison oak - ick. We were through at 1:30, so I got Rich a bird for the bridhouse I made him and a baby tee shirt for my doll, then we went to Harts and I got a real cool pants pattern - a sailor one with flaps down the sides and we walked home, but my brother came by and gave us a ride on his putt-putt.
When Michele came over we picked a song for special music tomorrow. I have to play for them and me looking like I do - ick!! Rich came and I went with him to Arvie's and Cheryle came and we went to the beach - Fun - now I'm going to bed.
June 1 and only '5' more days of school left. whoopie. When Cheryle came over this morning, I got all my things together because I'm spending the night at her house. After school, we had to wait for Mrs. V to take us home, and then we wanted to work on the practice set and get it finished, but we had to get the adding machine first. Anyway, that took quite awhile and it was the grand opening of K-Mart, so we went there and wow was it crowded! Even worse than Sears. I saw these hamsters for only 87 cents and I just HAD to get one. Who cares what mom says. Anyway, I got him and named him Oscy (Oscar) like the book "Summer of '42". We ate at K-Mart. It was kinda fun. We finally got started on Bookkeeping at 8:30, but I got tired at about 10:00, so I started knitting and we are getting to bed at 11:30.
June 2
We went to bed at 11:30, but we didn't get to sleep until 2:00 a.m. We had a beautiful talk, that I want to tell Richard about so bad!! But he's gone and do I ever miss him!!!! We had to get up at 7:00, so we didn't get much sleep, that's for sure. We came to my house and I hid Oscy because I'm going to see how long it takes them (my parents) to know I have him.
School was an absolute blast! Today! Mike came walking in real late with his hair cut off and everybody split (laughed), including EW. It was sooo funny. We didn't have Biology. He let us do Bookkeeping instead, which was good except I'm stuck - all the way. Richard - I need you! Help!
After school, I went to K-Mart and got a cage for Oscy. Right now he's trying to get out pretty bad and I think I'm tired, so I'll go to bed. It's 9:00 (early). I sure hope Richard made it OK - Good Night Richard, I love YOU!!!!
June 3
I had to play the piano for the Juniors again today and then I went into the Youth and nobody was there hardly. So we decided to go to the adults. It was OK, I guess. Pastor M gave the sermon on marriage and love. It was pretty good. I sure wish Richard could have been there though. I sat in the balcony and it was empty, because everybody was at MBA because of graduation, etc.
After church, I asked Pastor M for a copy of that poem he gave us the other day, and he said OK. At about 4:00 I called Sue. I mean Sue called me, and we went down to the beach, and we saw Pastor M. Anyway, we climbed around on the rocks etc. and got crabs and starfish, etc. Then we went home and went to Ed's party. It was really a weird one, but I love their house! I didn't get home until about 12:15. Zonk!
June 4
Today was rather busy. I got up quite late, because I went to bed so late last night. When I got up, I started cleaning my room, because the thought of Bookkeeping made me sick. At about 10:00, I finally got started on the lawn. At 11:00, Michele came over and she helped me a little, and I gave her a bunch of stuff. Michele really liked Oscy. Altho' he slept all day. My mom and dad found out I had him last night, because his exercise wheel kept squeaking - it kept me awake too, so I oiled it.
I rearranged my room a little, but not much. Ed and Steve called and asked me about Bookkeeping and I said they were crazy if I had done anything on it (Ed has called me before). I finished one slipper forRichard, by the way, he's on his way home - I don't know what time he'll get here , but I sure hope he makes it - because I LOVE HIM.
June 5
This is the beginning of the last week of school. Only 3 days left! It was a very boring day of school - really. But what can you expect for the last week? In Biology, Mr H gave us an open book test, which I am grateful for. In PE we had to play a game and we lost, as usual.
After school, I did Biology till I got tired of it, and then I took a shower and played with Oscy. Then I was getting all uptight about seeing Richard. I couldn't stand it (because when I looked out the window and saw Bill (Richard's brother that just graduated) I got all shook - because Bill wasn't supposed to even come. So I walked to Sue's and back and Richard came over and was I ever glad to see him!! Even if he did get his hair butchered. We stayed up and did Bookkeeping and talked until 11:30 etc. etc....
June 6
Two more days of school left and the final tests are starting to come! An all morning one in Geometry. I got a B on it, which I thought was good, considering the subject. During lunch break, some of us were trying to study and Otis comes in and starts bugging us to death - it made me soo mad!!! But he finally left. In PE it was our turn to play on the bars and was it ever fun! But oh my aching hands.
After school, I did Bookkeeping and more Bookkeeping until I was sick of it. So I studied Religion and English and then I went downstairs and the boys were listening to records and Richard called and they wouldn't let me talk to him or anything and I was sooo mad! So he called later. We didn't have a meeting because of finals, etc. and he couldn't come over so G.N. (good night)
June 7
Well, I can't find my pen - but what do you expect when it's 1:30 a.m. so this is really June 8 (this entry is written in red ink). I'll explain the situation later. We got our annuals (yearbooks), so we went around and had everybody sign them - I think they're a little bit better than last years. We had our final in English and I'll bet I flunked! But I got 103 over 105 in Religion - very good! I was so surprised! But in Bookkeeping, I was stuck all the way - the work sheet was all wrong! and nothing worked out - so we all gave up. I know I flunked Biology, but who cares?
After school, I did nothing and we (Richard and I) went to prayer meeting in SC and we stayed until everyone left and then we held hands and walked up the middle aisle and prayed - it was cool. Then we did Bookeeping until it was all finished 1:30 a.m. - sick z-z-z-z-z-z.
June 8
Cheryle came over and woke me up and we had our last breakfast together!
THE LAST DAY!! I'm sad, but I'm also glad. All morning was track and field day, so I ran around and got autographs. then I bugged Steve. Poor guy, but I won't be able to bug him anymore, sigh. I think I'll cry. Now let's not get emotional!
In the afternoon, I brought Oscy to school and he had a blast. In chapel, I got a typing honor. We didn't have to have a bookkeeping test!! Oh WOW!! At 2:00, I left and I didn't even say bye to Steven - it makes me feel rotten. Donna almost started bawling too.
After school, I started cleaning up my room some more and Richard called and we went to graduation and Bill was there. Oh wow - is he cool - but I think Cindy N likes him - sick and Donna was SO mad at her because she was with Larry and it's so funny!! Richard came over and had strawberries.
June 9
Hey, I found my pen! What a busy hectic day! I had to get up at 7:45 and go to MBA to register for school next year. Michele went with me and I have a FULL schedule next year. I didn't see about a job or anything, because Mr. W was gone. Pam G worked it out for us - after that, we went to the berry farm but they don't need any more pickers - so I'm going to be bored to death all June.
After I got home, I finished up my room and does it ever look empty, and clean for once. I don't keep my room messy, but not perfect either. Richard called and then he made me talk to Bill and then Richard, and I was all mixed up! Then later Bill called, and I talked to him because Rich was busy. They had a little meeting at Arvie's. Only four people. Otis, Bill, Rich, and me - the only girl. Arvie was at PUC. But it was fun. Then we took Bill home and they made me try to drive - it was sick and Bill didn't want to go in because his mom was with an old man - so I brought them to my house and fed them some of the strawberry pies I made - they liked them OK. By the way - I fixed supper too. So now I'm zonked and it's after 11:00 - good night!
June 10
What a day!! I got up and went to church and played the piano for the Juniors. The Youth class was pretty full because of MBA. Wally and Loretta gave their testimony and they took the whole time - it was really good!! I sat with Richard and Bill in church and Mr H had the sermon - it was about David and it was OK.
After church, I ate and then Rich called and mom and dad let him borrow our car - and we went to singing bands. It was OK. Then Rich and I went to Jim A's house and visited with him for awhile, then we came to my house and had strawberries - Oh yes, we called Sue and she joined us, then we went to the beach and had a blast! Then we went to the S church social at the campgrounds and it was an absolute blast - but guess who broke a (? can't read my writing!)? me of course. We had Rick's car then and we had Bill and Sue (come with us) up to "our place" and then we drove around SC for awhile. It was really fun and afterwards Richard said he was hooked on me for sure.
June 11
My dad came in at 8:00 and woke me up and was I ever mad! He put the hoses etc out so I got up and watered the lawn. Then Cheryle called and wanted to go on a hike and I said "forget it". Then I sat out and caught some bugs for a collection - now that I don't need it - maybe if I turn it in late I'll still get a grade? Then I cleaned out Oscy's cage and watered my african violets.
This afternoon I was real rambunxious to cook, so since we had a lot of apples with nobody around to eat them, I baked a pie. While that was baking, I played tennis against the wall and these 2 boys picked up the balls for me. I was hot and icky from tennis so I took a shower and ate (the pie was delicious, even if I must say so myself). Then I went to Sue's and we watched TV until 11:30 or so.
June 12
I wanted to sleep in today since I haven't been getting much sleep lately, but mom came in and played with Oscy and then she told me to clean up the kitchen and gave me instructions etc. So I got up and started cleaning the kitchen - man, what a job! I got tired fast and quit at noon and went out to look for bugs. Then I read and put up a real good picture of Jesus on my wall. Then I took a nap, and while I was doing that, Richard called and asked me to play tennis and I agreed. In the meantime my mom was getting all riled up over my brother and Ray - wow - was I glad to get out of the house.
We went to the tennis courts at SC. We played from 7:45 - 9:15 - it was a blast, but it got dark and since we weren't tired, we decided to go to the boardwalk. We got an all night pass - where you can go on any of the rides for as many times as you want until 11:00 for a special price. It was a BLAST. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. Only thing is I kept squashing poor Richard and he wouldn't let me hold onto the ride - At 11:00 we went on the Ferris Wheel and we were the only ones on it and Richard nodded to the operator to stop and he stopped us at the top to kiss - but we didn't and it was so funny!!! We went on every ride, except for 2 and the only reason we didn't go on those is because we ran out of time. Afterwards, he didn't want to take me home, so we went to the lookout and gazed at the stars - and- each other- well, it was 12:00 when we left and I bawled him out all the way home - poor guy!
June 13
My diary was on loan today, so I used a piece of paper and now I will recopy what I wrote on that. Richard wanted to read my diary - so I let him.
Today mom came in early and was talking to Oscy etc. and woke me up, then she was telling me all the things I have to do today, so I got up and started cleaning up the kitchen again. Mom came home at noon and stayed, because she wasn't feeling well, so I plugged away at the kitchen until 2:30, till I was finished, but I was dog tired, so I fixed some popcorn and talked to mom and played with Oscy. Then Rich called and then Michele called and gave me an offer for 2 jobs, which I am very grateful for. Then Richard called again, about the prayer meeting, and he asked me to have Pizza, but I said no. Then I played tennis until Richard and the group came and had the meeting. I decided to go to bed early 9:30 - z-z-z-z-z-z.
June 14
I took my books to Mrs F to sell and my bug collection to Mr H (for Biology) even if it is a LITTLE late - but mom made me - so what could I do?
Dad came in at 7:00. Oh was I mad. He wanted me to get up and water the lawn, but I wouldn't, so I got up at about 8:30 and then I started to water the lawn, and I vacuumed the steps and started to clean the stove and was it ever filthy - you wouldn't BELIEVE!! That took most all day - Then I made some banana cake, because we have so many bananas and don't know what to do with them. I took a shower and ate. Richard called and we had to go to a committee meeting for a SAYU talent program at 6:30 and at 7:30 I had to play the piano and Richard had song service for prayer meeting at SC. Then Richard was telling me all about this diary and Bill was bored, so we sent him home and I gave Rich some cake. He loved it and so did Bill (he had to pick us up) and I gave him some. He liked it - shock - because he thinks he is such a "superior" cook. We went to Rich's and read this (diary) and sent Bill out, but he came in at 11:00 and started getting undressed, so we left and talked at my house until 12:00 and Ray etc. was bugging me - funnee..
June 15
Oh the luxury of sleeping in!!!! I got up at 9:30 and ate quite a large breakfast. Then I went to Ray's shoe repair shop and visited Michele. Yesterday, I forgot to tell you about my job! I'm bookkeeper for Ray and the shop. Well, I stayed there for a couple of hours and then I went to Sue's and she wasn't even up yet and it was after 1:00!! And I thought I was lazy. Good grief. I left after awhile and read this (diary) from where we left off last night until the end and then I went to sleep. At 5:00, I heard mom, and later found out she had the afternoon and Friday (tomorrow) off, so I got up and ate and listened to records and then we went grocery shopping and I saw daddy H and we talked etc. Then we came home and Ray brought "Tommy" "The Who" back, and I listened to it through. It takes a couple of hours - but I love it and missed it!!!! Nighty Night. 10:05.
June 16
My dad decided to start mowing the lawn at 7:30 this morning and was I ever mad. Then mom came in, so I got up. She wanted me to go do some things for her that took all morning. Then I had to clean the living room etc. and mom payed me $10 for everything.
I finally wrote Donna and David a letter. This afternoon we went to the Cheese Factory and on the way we saw an accident happen. A truck turned over - it was weird. Then we went to the Drug Abuse Center and they have tapestry's for $55. Real good - so Donna and I might get one - I have to find out how big the rooms are first though.
I played the piano this afternoon from 7:30 until 9:00 - wow - it was fun though. Then Rich came over and got his coat and left. He doesn't know it, but I think I'm mad at him - he had to practice his Sax.
June 17
Everybody got up so late this morning, so we rushed around and I ended up with my brother in Ray's VW, which isn't too cool. I played the piano for the Junior's and Michele listened to me. Then we went in the Youth room and Michele sat on one side and Sharon on the other. Rich was playing his Sax, and when he came in he had to sit by himself. Hee Hee. That's not nice. Then I sat in the balcony while he played and then he sat with me upstairs.
After church was blah - I didn't do much of anything. Then dad went to communion, but I didn't want to, so I stayed home. Then mom and dad went shopping, but they wouldn't let me go because of Rich - who was supposed to come over - I wanted to go shopping, but being with Rich is better. He came and then Ed called and asked me to play tennis and Steven will be there! I'm so excited, I probably won't be able to sleep!!!! Richard and I caught up on all the news while he held me - it was fun!!!! But I sent him home at 11:00 because he has to work tomorrow.
June 18
I got a letter from Donna and I wrote her one back!! I got up fairly early this morning because I couldn't sleep good, because I rested so much. On top of that, I got a kink in my neck. Well anyway, I got up and watered the lawn and washed mine and my brothers sheets and gave dad his father's day gift - a terry cloth shirt to wear on the trip. Then Michele came over and we were coloring in our "Peanuts" book. Then Ed called and said to come and Michele wanted to come too, so we got on my little putt putt bike, with me on the handle bars and her leg power and we started off - you should have seen the looks people gave us - it was funny!
After we got to the courts, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the boys to come, then we got a court and started warming up and this guy came up and wanted to play doubles - so we did for awhile until Steven's dad came. Wow what fun, except I was on Ed's team - but that was fun too. Ed and I played until about 3:30 and we were real tired, so we just sat and had a very enjoyable chat and he gave me a bunch of candy - sigh. Then his mom came (Oh Michele didn't want to play - so she just watched until her mom came).
I went to Long's and got my brother a belt for graduation (real cool) and some photo album pages. Then I went to Sears to get some yarn, but they didn't have the right kind, so I left. Oh yes, at the tennis courts, I saw Bill and I waved, but I guess he didn't see me - I think he was going to Bev's. The belt I got for my brother was too big, so I had to take it back and exchange it. He liked it lots. Well, that's about all that happened today.
I like Steven, but I LOVE Richard-------
June 19
Mom kept coming into my room this morning, so I asked her what she wanted and she goes "don't you know that VBS (Vacation Bible School) starts at 8:30?" And I go, "what?" And she goes "Yes". It was 8:00, so I got up and rushed around, because I thought it started at 9:30 or so. When I got there I had to start registering the students and then work in crafts until 12:00 - what a hectic deal - wow!!
When I got home I had to clean the upstairs. Then I started making a dress. I have a lot of sewing to do, and such little time to do it in. I read in the Bible and then I made a dress for my doll. Then Leland P came over and wanted to see the gym for the thing on Sunday and he said I had to do the art work for it - sick and Mrs R hasn't said anything to me about it. Rich came over to give me a book for the meeting tomorrow night and that's all - he had to go to a corn roast, so I have hardly seen him at all. Well gotta go - it's 10:10.
June 20
Got up early to go to VBS. It was hectic as usual, but I enjoy it. In the afternoon, I started a dress (the one from my banquet dress (the one with Steven)). I studied the lesson for tonight and ate etc. Then Richard came and we went to the meeting and Bill kept on bugging me and it was making me sick. After the meeting, I asked Rich if he would help me put the backdrop up for the program on Sunday and he said yes, so we worked on that until 1:30 a.m. and I'm zonked. Richard is sure a HONEY!!! WOW!!!!
P.S. Michele came over and showed me her dreams etc.
June 21
Mrs. L picked us up for VBS and it was rush, rush all day. We are making flowers now and what a mess and I was tired from last night. When I got home, I had to water the lawn, and while I did that I worked on my dress some more and then I worked on a jigsaw puzzle. After I ate, I decided to take a quick shower, so I did. Rich called while I was in the shower, so he talked to my mom (help!!) until I got out, then I talked to him. He wanted me to go to prayer meeting at SC, but I wanted to go to S - so I did (I told Cheryle to come too), but they didn't have one because of VBS, so we got in her truck and we went to SC and Rich was surprised to see us , but he came and sat by me. Then we left and I helped Leland cover bottles for the program Saturday night.
June 22
No entry
June 23
Had to get up early again to help at VBS. Thank goodness it's Friday!!! After working all morning Mrs. R, the lady that cleans the church, reminded me that I was to help her clean, so I was vacuuming and Sue didn't come, so I called her, so she came, so we worked until 3:00. Then we left and I got some yarn and thread (spending all my money!). And then we were looking around at Hart's and I saw this real cool material for pants - it's soft - real boss-o. It was on sale for 99 cents a yard, so I got 1 1/2 yards of blue - so my pants only cost $2.09 to make - far out!!!
Rich called and we went to Arvie's and "shot the bull" there until 11:00. And I went out and was talking to Alice - she's really pretty cool - not what I had her as being (in the (my) mind) we talked about Rich some until he came.
June 24
Well, I had to play the piano for Juniors again - didn't do too bad. Michele came and wanted me to talk, but Rich was waiting, so I persuaded them to sit with me. I sat with Rich in church and the VBS kids sang the opening song 'Jesus Loves Me'. Then Pastor M gave the sermon - a story for the kids on Moses, it was pretty good. After church Mom invited Rich home for dinner, so he was playing his Sax for us and I took some pictures of him - Then we went to Big Basin and took a hike. We were supposed to be back at 5:00, but we didn't get back until 6:00 - cause we got lost. It was a blast!! And on the way back, I was laying my head down on his lap and that was groovy. After sundown vespers - a good program- we had to set up the gym for the program tomorrow - What a job!!!
Heart drawings all around "I LOVE Richard."
June 25
I got up at the leisurely hour of 9:00, I believe. I don't know, because I think my watch stopped. Well, I got up and watered the Dorcas lawn and Mrs. P paid me - good!! Because I was broke! While I did that, I cleaned my room and Oscy's cage - I think he is sick. Maybe something we fed him? I don't know, but I hope he gets over it.
I finished the green dress I started, so I could wear it tonight and also made my pants - LOVE them!! Except one of the buttons broke, and I had to use different buttons.
I took a shower and Rich came over - he was wearing some of Bill's clothes and he looked SUPER !! I'm going to have to get some pictures. Well, we went over to the program and it wasn't very organized really, but it was good anyway. A shame not too many people came. Hocus Pocus was there!! I remember him - wow! Rich had to play for the program, so I had to be back stage and be his self confidence and hold his hand etc.!! It was fun though. Afterwards Rich gave me some flowers and we took his mom home, then we went to help clean up, which wasn't much fun with a dress on!! So I had Rich take me home - It was a BLAST!!!
I L O V E R I C H ! ! ! (really now, let's not get too overly excited)
June 26
VBS again - oh ick - but only 3 more days - whoopie!! I really didn't do too much today, but I was tired, but that's no excuse because Mrs R didn't get in until 2:30 a.m. this morning. Poor lady.
After I got home, I ate spaghetti left over from last night - we have so much - it'll be running out of our ears! Before you know it. I read some from THE Book and fell asleep until 6:30 when Rich called - so I sounded wide awake for him, I bet!! ha ha. Well, the reason he called was to play tennis. I agreed, so we went to the high school and they were full, so we went to UCSC and we actually found the tennis courts! Anyway we went back to SCHS and Bill dropped us off, but we couldn't play because of lessons and we didn't have a car so we went to the High School and messed around until 8:00 and we played until 9:00 when Bill came and I made Rich go home and to bed - hopefully. Now - what about me?
June 27
Got up early for VBS. It was kinda boring because it seems like all the kids already know what they're doing.
I crochet some this afternoon and Rich called and said he was off work for the rest of the day, so he came over and geve me a book to study, etc. Then I painted mom's ceramics all afternoon. I hope she's happy now. Oscy is real sick and I hope he gets better. I cleaned out his pen etc. because he has diarrhea - P. U.!!!!
Rich and the group came and we had the meeting - it was ok. Then Rich stayed until Bill came and picked him up.
I'm getting SICK of writing in this stupid book!!
June 28
The last day of crafts and VBS - for me anyway. So Mrs. R was generous and let us take home all the craft stuff we wanted to, so I did. After I got home Oscy was dead - it was so sad. I found a box that fit perfect and I wrapped him all up and put him in that and gave him a funeral and a grave with flowers and a cross. Then I took a picture of it. Boo Hoo.
Then I started making the birdhouse and Rich called and was off work, so he came over and we goofed off and I had him bake a cake, etc. and he stayed for supper and we went to the swamp and it was ick and I told Richard I was leaving, so I left and he stayed , so I went home and I had to call Greg - and Donna - but I didn't get to talk long enough. Then my aunt gave me a birthday present $16.00. Wow! She's not going on the trip with us because she is going to Illinois with Ms Z - a sort of relief, but I suppose I am getting used to her, even if she does bug me and get on my nerves sometimes.
Then Bill called and wanted to know where Rich was ??? Then he came walking in - so I talked to him for a long while, poor Richard!!!!! But now I feel a little bit resentful towards him and I don't know why????
P.S. I get another Oscy because mom said it was her fault that he died.
June 29
Guess what I have? Poison Oak - ick!! From that stupid swamp and it's all over my face - now won't I just look grand for Mike? Sick.
I got up at 8:00, but I didn't go to VBS because they didn't work on crafts or anything, so I went to visit Michele. She was lonely because Ray is gone. So I took pity and visited her. At noon we went to her house and back again. After awhile I left and finished Richard's birdhouse and I took a shower and Michele called and wanted me to go to a movie, but I went to the VBS graduation instead. Michele came over and gave me a birthday present "Wild Meadow" spray cologne. I like it a lot. I saw all my old friends. Cool.
Mom just told me she is going to give me $150 for the trip - wow!
June 30
If I thought I had poison oak last night - you should see it now!! All over my face and lips and its starting to ooze all over - ick.
I had to help Ranele clean the church this morning and afternoon and was it ever HOT - with poison oak - ick. We were through at 1:30, so I got Rich a bird for the bridhouse I made him and a baby tee shirt for my doll, then we went to Harts and I got a real cool pants pattern - a sailor one with flaps down the sides and we walked home, but my brother came by and gave us a ride on his putt-putt.
When Michele came over we picked a song for special music tomorrow. I have to play for them and me looking like I do - ick!! Rich came and I went with him to Arvie's and Cheryle came and we went to the beach - Fun - now I'm going to bed.
