Real swell day out but were the cole sores ever awful! Brought V-8 in because Dad had a sale. Went to Doctor. My throat is all swollen. Fever blisters & my gland. Feel pretty tough. Mom had a grand birthday dinner for me. (Cream pie). Made jacket for plaid dress. Got new pajamas & Aladdin lamp. Listened to Jean Harlow & Robert Taylor in “Madame Sans – Gene.” Really good. Pete's gloves came. Doing dishes at 9:30. Felt 10 yrs older!

Mom finished jacket, washed it & I ironed it after I got home from work. Folks went to Bank Nite. I read & waited for Pete until 8:45. Rode around town. Our girls beat Manilla, Frenchy at Dance Hall but I didn't think I had better go so we parked car down at hall & listened & watched them for quite awhile. To heck with cold sores. Ignored them tonite.
