Sun - June 21
Up late - didn't go to church for it was raining to beat the band, & I had already checked in my raincoat.  
Bob & I went to the movie on the station about 3 oclock - no good.  We went out to Martines for their Sun. night buffet supper.  Did there meet Stuart Hemingway's girl whom he gave an engagement ring just a few days ago.  Nice, refined looking sort of girl.  Nearly all the boys with commission, only a few weeks away are thinking of marriage.  Sounds good.
Drove Bob out to Ellyson where he starts in tomorrow.  Bid him farewell about 8 oclock.
Mon - June 22
And still no orders - am enjoying this rest & yet anxious to get onto Miami.  Rained most of the day.  All of the squadrons except four were secured.  Bob came back to the main station from Ellyson, and I drove Haugebak & him back out after supper.
