DESKAIDE * THE SILENT SECRETARY * 1942

JULY
19
SUNDAY

Rainy. Turned fair. I didn't
do much of anything but
loathsome Geraman [[German]] - 1 whole 
chapter. (9) In the afternoon 
I practiced riding on my bike
a lot over by Aston[[best guess]] line - near -
saw Jackie once - dull life.
I cut out another Jergen's coupon.
I have 3 now.

twice on way home - once where
we stopped last time - to wet
our toes & bask at the pond
we swam 3 times (last time 
was cold) & two boys chased us 
(mostly Mabel - she has a cute new
bathing suit:

) all over pond - dived
at us. We basked a
bit, walked around
some too. I bought
us each a vanilla
cone (5¢+5¢ =10¢) on
way home. I only owe her 9¢ now.
I can have 5¢ a day except Sat. &
Sun. Mabel brought 2 raisan [[raisin]]
bread sandwiches & I brought 2
peaches. We had a very good time.
Tired at home. - whew. My
bathing suit is too tight - dark red.
