(I've been away from the story for a bit, but it's coming to a close/about to change direction.
Until we get to the U.S. I'm not going to copy all the food down. By this point, I wasn't always writing it down, anyhow.)
Psalm 83
Got up medium. Dressed. Walked and worked with Greta. Speedy petted and worked a little with her too. All four of us went to biscayne. Came back. Helped with fire and ate. Rested. Got up. Fed Greta. Went to biscayne to see Mr. Jones (at right). Came back. Gave Greta a snack. Ate supper. Put on pj's. Went to bed. Heard "C.P" and helped T. with her basket. Thank You, Mr. O, Thank You.
The weekly summary said:
A good week. Poor, dear Guerly died--a blessing. T. went to town with Pops on Friday and I made a stuffed animal--Guerly, a puppy-face pillow.
Whenever I read Chines stories I'm filled with inspiration. Long live the workers, peasants and soldiers--the masses! We were supposed to go this week but we got an extension. A good week. Thank you.
The "Chinese Stories" I was referring to was mentioned in the last update-- the book was called"Seeds". They were written to be inspiring. Though I think I was sort of feeding in to the propaganda, as well, given what was going on at the moment. I still have it. I should read it again... though books tend to put me to sleep these days.

Psalm 84
Got up medium. Dressed. Went to biscayne with Mom and T. Saw Diana, her mother and brother. Mom cried. (No one saw her.) Came back. Heard "strange Homecoming." 3 Star United came (except Diana); Sonia, Bev, and Sharon. Gave Sharon some clothes. They left. Talked to Speedy. Mr. Jones + Pops came for boxes + trunks. They left. Showered, put on P.js. Heard "Dulci." Pops came back. Went to bed. Thank You.
I think this was the day Bigbear finally got through to "Mamabelle" on the phone, to tell her we were coming. Notice I don't really mention Mamabelle too much after that.

Psalm 90
Got up medium. Dressed Helped with Fire. Ate at about 10:45. Don't remember much more.
There was no "weekly summary," just a drawing of Pegasus. The psalm for Sunday, Psalm 90, is the only one in the book of psalms attributed to Moses. It is a family favorite.
