I have been wanting to write ever since I got back from the

Xmas vacation but haven't had time.

I wanted to write during the vacation too but I didn't have

my book at home.

We had three weeks vacation on account of scarlet fever.

I had 3 days before Xmas and worked in the store.

I made $1, the first I ever worked for -- no, I'll take that

back. I'm sure I worked for that money I made mowing

the yard last summer. There goes that pesky bell.
