As another weekend draws to a close, Dart is kicking himself because he didn’t get as much done as he had hoped to – again. (Just a tip, Dart; maybe if you lay off those 14-page “thinking” letters, you’d have more time for other things.)

The church improvement committee announced they had exceeded their $6,000 fund raising goal by $735.

Every moment of every day, Dart is lonely for Dot. He thinks how much better everything would be if she were by his side. He’s most lonesome at bedtime, when all he wants to do is crawl in beside her and get wrapped up in each other. He wants to rest his tired body against her warm, soft, sweet, responsive body. He wants to fall asleep entwined and wake up to her kisses.

Dot’s brief letter included a clipping from the Greenwich paper about the teen girls’ trip into the city to see the ice show. Listed as a chaperone was one Miss Dorothy Chamberlain.

She went to the hospital today to visit her cousin Betty and her new daughter Jane Chamberlain Ficker. Both mother, baby, and new dad are doing well.

Dot babysat for the Millers this afternoon. Chris asked about Dart almost the moment she arrived.

Tomorrow she begins her work at 8:30, and plans to be well-rested. In fact, she wants to stick to an early bedtime from now until the wedding. That way, she won’t have to waste much time sleeping on their honeymoon.

She asks Dart to remind her to renew her license with her first check and then says that in spite of her, the National Safety Council has named Connecticut the state with the safest drivers.

That’s all for today.
