March 30.

Boy, did I have fun today! Denise took Larry, Kris, Tanya, Tracy, and I horseback riding! Our horses are like this:

Me - Star
Denise - Croppy
Tanya - Charger
Kris - Pal
Tracy - ?

We were near the river when Charger rolled over in the sand! Then Tracy's horse rolled! Then Denise's Croppy turned around and wouldn't go back! Star followed Croppy, and then Pal followed Star! Not long after that Star galloped!

We got to go in the river. We also trotted a lot.

March 21. (morning)

I'm afraid that Kari, Kim, and Ann don't like me anymore. We get into long arguments about Ozma and such. It's only 19 days till Lori, thank goodness!

March 16.

I got into an awful scene with Kari. I was very cross, but when she stepped on my foot by mistake, I lost my temper. We were horrid enemies for about an hour afterward, but at the end she made up and KISSED me!

March 13.

When I get all the horses I want to get, I will have 45 horses. It will probably take forever. I have only half enough money to buy Starbuck.

The names of the horses are:

Starbuck
Oberon
Electra
Banner
Dawn Star
M. Arrow
Lodestar
Enigma
Larkspur
Trigger
Sunbeam
Hercules
Gypsy
Rocket
Autumn S.
White Star
Wildfire
Blackbird
Diadem
Ruffian
Paprika
Conquest
Stamina
Banet E.R.
Autumn Star
Bright M.
Savannah
Yaba
Snowbird
Yellow Mount

Quite a lot of equui!

On march 10 I went to Denise's house and earned 5 badges! Namely, Cook, Hospitality, Active Citizen (!!), My Troop, and Writer! In one day! We baked bread and potatoes and made meat loaf.

March 11.

I watched 60 minutes tonight. It was about Dr. Josef Mengele

That is a little bit like the picture they had of him. Next time they have something about him, I will take a picture of their photo so I can trail him.

I earned 75 cents today. That makes $3.35. I need about twice that to buy Starbuck or anybody else.

I might ask Fernando if he has heard of Josef Mengele.

March. 8.

I have two more composition books and am starting Part 6. Latest event: Ria turned out to be Aujah the Adept (from Glinda of Oz) and sent her out into the woods.

Mrs. H. lost.

I wish I could remember my hawks. I'll try to write their names down:

Prairies
Fanfare
Laser

Peregrines
Chief Peregrine
Ulysses
Topaz
Ruby
Amethyst
Diamond
Sapphire

Cooper's
Jess
Comet
Screamer

Red-tails
Leviticus
Deuteronomy

Falconets
Hera
Bottlebrush

Sparrowhawks
T
Lucrece
Terry
Eto
Zander

Golden Eagle
Lady

Marsh Hawk
Ponderous

I can't remember any more.

These are Quasarite horses. Unlike Planet horses, they can be of almost any color.

March 7

Day before yesterday I wrote a play about the Phoenix, which is the immortal bird of the sun.

March 6 (morning)

Today is voting day and Mrs. H. is running for the School Board.

Last night I told B that Earth was our world. But he said that "that big thing was the world." He meant the globe!

March 5 (morning)

Lori called last night! She is coming for Easter vacation, all alone, on a plane! I asked her who she'd bring, and she said, "Everyone I can cram into my little backpack!"
