We have spent the entire day on the boat. It is a great big boat with
a ball room and everything. We took our dinner and went at 9:30 A. M.
and got off at 6 o'clock P. M. I danced a couple of times with Ann. It
has been a wonderful day.

Dear Diary:
My eyes hurt terrible last night. I guess it was from being on the water
all day. This afternoon when Rich comes home from work Aunt Otie, Lucille,
Edna and I are going to a Club House just on the other side of St. Clair,
Mo.

Dear Diary:
We spent the night in the Club House. Its really a cabin on the river.
We went fishing this morning in the Morimack River but didn't catch much.
It was awful cold early this morning . Isn't it great, just think, we
went to sleep on the Ozark mountains and went fishing in the Merimack
River. It is so pretty and peaceful up here but we're going back to Edan
and Riches this afternoon.
