Can't Go Back and Don't Wanna

Trying to keep ekeing away at the old journals written when I was in my teens. I don’t much want to, but there’s no other way except either storing them or chucking them without keeping sakes worth keeping.
Inside cover

For instance, I won't part with this letter from Mom, written in March 1978. Little sister Joan’s letter is printed on the other side; I’m sure I’ve posted it before. 

A ha! I see Mom sometimes did exactly what she wanted instead of what she thought she "should," too. Good.


There are a few things amusing to see, but destined for Dumpsville or the fire I plan to build. Not today, maybe, as it’s been raining since I got up.

We girls often went "for coffee" when I was in Grade 12, and someone sketched us:


Barry, the first beau with whom I began vigorous calisthenics at age 18.
When Cathy and I were roommates.
And finally, for those who don't connect with me on Facebook, here's a flyer from the drive-in from around the time I lived in Saskatoon and went to university:

  1. I don't know if it's more surprising to me that Kim Mitchell was at the Wadena library, it that mom went to listen.....
    Could it have been an entirely different Kim Mitchell (Patio Lanterns) lol???

    1. Yep. Mom would never have gone to see Kim Mitchell!
