More Pee-Wee Posts

A couple more enties from my recently found old journal of my girl, Nikki's (Pee-Wee), post cleft palate surgery. Written with pen and ink in calligraphy way back when on...

~Nov. 5th, 1986~

Well it’s been a little over a month since Nikki’s surgery – she’s back to her old wily little self. She’s such a cutie. I really should go home and take her to the park. She’s fun to take to the park - she loves to chase the pigeons – those stupid pigeons.

She has many leaves to examine and much dirt to sort. She’s so happy now.

Oh! Philip moved in with us a week ago last Sat. Oct. 25th. Philip is Alex’s 11-year-old son (soon to be 12). Jay (Alex Jr.) is 14 going on 15 in January. Anyway, I’m going home to take the monsters to the park.

This pen wants to give me problems~

Dad and Ann went on vacation in Mexico for about three weeks so here I am. My back went out again last Sun. so I’m home [Dad’s place] from work. Nikki’s with Mom so I don’t have to lift her. I’m here completely alone!

Philip’s in school, Alex’s at work. I haven’t been alone in months—this is lovely! It’ll probably be years before it happens again. [Did I ever call that right!]

Work’s been a madhouse. Jackie’s got me traveling with her and we’ve been going non-stop. No wonder my back went out. Yesterday I was supposed to go to Santa Barbara with her, today L.A. and Pasadena. Tomorrow, Santa Ana. Thursday, Del Amo – HELP! Is there no rest? Friday night the Nutcracker [with the family] and Saturday morning the Jonathan Club [with Jackie] for a big jewelry/fashion show.
