It's summer!!!

*June 10, 1944*
I figured that I better write in this journal at least once this summer so I picked today because its rainy outside. Momma is quite busy around the house which means I also get to do a lot of work. We recently took in a renter who is this really young lady from the big city. She is lots of fun but it means that I have to do more work around the house and help Momma make dinner since there are more people in the house now. Since school is out, I have so much time to do other things that are really fun like going to the store and getting Cokes with my friends, swimming down in the lake, and riding my bike everywhere. I am very lucky I have a bike still because a lot of the kids in my class had to sell theirs for money. The bikes are being made into scrap metal that will be turned into something really important for the war.

Ooh, I almost forgot to write about the biggest news EVER!!! So this really big war event happened like 4 days ago in Europe. They called it DDay and from what the radio said it was really important to the war. Apparently, the Allies surprised the Axis powers on the beaches of Normandy and took a really important place in Europe. The only thing Momma and I are worried about is that so many pilots were involved. But we are hoping to here from Dad soon because that will make Momma less stressed about it. The radio also said that this meant that the war might be over soon which would mean that Dad gets to come home soon!! Momma is telling me not to get my hopes up but how can I not??? Well, I need to go help Momma make lunch. I probably won't write again until school starts.
