Saw J in the cafeteria but I didn’t see him at lunch so I thought I’d ask him for a lift. I saw Theresa so I asked her to ask him. Mary asked me if I had a date and when I said yes she looked mad. Theresa came by at lunch and said J said ok. Then just before quitting time I went to wait up and left my purse and when I came back it was gone. I was just sick about it so I was going to wait until Jenny came out and walk with her but Johnny came over to me and said you wanted a lift. So we walked to the car and Joey came along too and boy Theresa made sure she rushed over. I told him about my purse and he was so nice he offered me some money. I made it clear in the car who Joey was and as usual J didn’t say much but he sure kept looking. He was real nice when I got out too. Went over to Aggie’s and had a nice time. Ellen Ahern called.

When we quit work Joey was with us and I saw J pull his car out of the lot and park next to us blocking Jenny. I asked him what he was doing and I think he did it on purpose but he saw Joey get in with me that should fix him. He said I shouldn’t get my dress dirty. Worked on my rug in the evening. Also JB was out in front this morning and when he saw me coming he turned around so I ignored him too. Read by Kelly @ Blue Heron

7. 08-02-60 download (, 0.00Mb) Description: August 2, Tuesday Well I’ve had it. This morning I was so tired because last night Rose woke me up to see the light in Mrs. Joris house and then I couldn’t fall asleep. My eye was red and I looked awful. Sat with Joey in the cafeteria and saw J come in and he kept looking around. Then later on he came for a drink and didn’t even say hello and boy was I mad. When I went out for the paper he was there so I said hello and asked him how his vacation was. He was stooping and he looked at my feet and I could have kicked him. He said he forgot to send a card and he was on his vacation the first two weeks. He seemed like he wanted to keep talking but I had to go in. Then before we quit he came by so I called him over but he sure seemed like he could away. When we left work he ran out fast and then when Jenny and I waked by he was standing with Bonnie. While we were in the car he walked by with the girls so I said where are you going and he said real snotty for a walk. I was so disgusted to hell with him. It looked like his car went by on Hoyne but I don’t really think so. Read by Lannie
