Sept. 21, '78

Well, hello, diary! This is my first day of having you.

Today my dear friend Julie and I built a new fort. We lugged a log up the hill and made a seat. We strung a piece of string between two pussy-willow trees to hang our sweaters on, but the boys broke it. It's terrible how boys like to hurt forts, especially girl's forts.

Julie did the impossible today. She finally broke it to me that I was beautiful! I'd never believed anybody who told me that before! It was as if a huge 2-ton boulder had been lifted off my heart. I cried.

Another boy came and started wrecking the fort next to us. T flew off my shoulder before I could stop him and in a half-second there was blood everywhere. And the boy didn't even notice!

T is the fiercest of all my hawks, even Lady.
