To the store early and stayed until
late. Then to Scout meeting and we
planned an overnight trip to the beach
and meals, etc. The M ichaels served
ice cream and cookies. We enjoyed it.
Then in came Mrs. Culbertson who
accused Mrs. Michaels and me oi‘not
being "nice" to her since the ocean trip.
We were dumbfounded and could not
imagine why she seemed so upset. We
told her to forget the whole thing. I
wonder what it's all about.

it would get and we loved putting them
under a can and lighting them. which
made the can fly straight up in the air.
Then we would in the cl‘cninggo down

fireworks. Now that was a big deal!
