Date: Cud Be! If Hilda Lou comes home 4 Valentimes.
Deer Mr. Diary
Ever year we hav this here Valentimes Day Dance. It haz allwaz been sumthing I looked forwards 2 coz I gits 2 be on the komittee to select the band. There are three uv us on this here komittee an we gotz to get sumbody booked rite away. This here komittee meetin goez the same way ever year, an this year waz no different. Heres a summree uv this years meetin.
Mrs. Freedia MacKinshoots wanted Rudie an the Rollers. They play for the whole dance wile on roller skates, an they wood cost $43.67.
Mrs. Eldia Mae Groots wanted a band called Back uv the Bed. This group backs their ol modified school bus with a bed on the back rite into the barn where the dance is, an they do the dance usin the bed as their stage. Since they dont hav 2 unload equiptment, theyd only cost us $32.13.
We discussed, Hooter an The Tooters, Red Raider an The Rollups, Rudy an the Raindrops, Daylite an the Dogs, an then talk bout each groups uneek karacteristics. Then I say like I did last year, an the year befor that, an the year befor that, Well, watt kind uv a budget do we hav 2 work with coz everbody we hav discussed wants 2 be paid? Well them ladies look at one then the other an say, like they do ever year, We aint got no budget. Well, I say like I do ever year, I talked to fiddelin Joe the other day an he said he an sum uv the regular ol boyz wood do er 4 free. Then Mrs. Freedia MacKinshoots makes the motion that we git fiddelin Joe, an Mrs. Eldia Mae Groots seconds it, an it passes younanamous.
We alwayz no it will turn out like this, but 4 jist a breef moment we can all speckulate, discuss, an dream as if we waz rilly goin 2 do sumpthin different this year.
I better git goin. I gotta tell fiddlin Joe that he won by younanamous desission.
