Went to the Methodist Church with Carsey and Roy Marcone. Poor sermon – rode around after dinner until time to go. Visited the office where Carsey works in the Inventory Dept.  Left for Roswell about Camille 2.jpg 3:30. Stopped  at Caprock or somewhere for a sandwich and more coffee.  Got to R about 8. All four of us. Pete, Dixie Smith, Carsey and I saw “Camillle” fair only – good spots.  They left to go back about eleven! Surely hope they got home in time to go to bed in time to get up for work!  Carsey was wonderful to me the whole week-end paid me lots of complements – He used to be so silent and absentminded. He still is absent-minded to a degree but I never laughed anymore or had more fun on any week – and party before!  Hope he can come over real soon!

Blew hard all day.  Carsey had to be at work at 6:30!! I slept late and got up to go with him to lunch at 11.  He had to go back to work at 12 and I fixed up and read.  Slept a little. At 3 the wind had died. Went to town – met Pete Romain – fooled around – went to a western show – punk!
