My Day. This has been a wonderful day. I am of age - 18. Its quite a turning point. At the table this morning I found 100 pesos at my place! Imagine! To spend for things I want before we leave. When I got to school several girls gave me greetings and Connie gave me a darling present. I couldn’t keep my mind on my lessons. Right after lunch we dashed over to Mrs. Gibson’s to give her the things to put in the cake. Then we hurried to the flower market to get the flowers. We had an orchid for each person and then a center piece of them. Then we ordered the ice cream. Then we came home and hurried right downtown again. I got home about three and Helen called me up and told me that Jimmy was sick. Jimmy called later and said that he was ill and couldn’t come. What a fix. Alex came thru and saved this day by asking Allen Howell for me. He was quite an addition to the party. At five I went to the hair dresser and had my hair put up. I wore it up for the first time. At ten to seven I got Hope and then dressed as fast as I could and fixed the cards etc. and was ready five minutes ahead of time. We finished dinner about ten and then we went to the Hotel. I had a wonderful time. I got darling presents from Helen and Hope.
Jane's Notes: Mom would have been 102 on this day in 2012. The scrapbook has a diagram of the seating arrangement for he party.
Happy birthday Annabelle!
