A reoccurring theme is that the family always wants Anna to come visit awhile . I am sure it is partly out of the goodness of their heart but also because she is such a good worker. Here is her entry for her 17th birthday(May 26): Monday My Birthday-17 Dear Diary, up at 9:00 ate did dishes. Painted in the bathroom, Blue and White. Got dinner (what we would call lunch) ate, did dishes. Proceeded with painting. Ate supper did dishes. Received present from Aunt Mae, an Uncle Sam bandana. Pretty. I went to the show. "That night in Rio" Don Ameche, Alice Faye, Carman Miranda. Very good. More laughs. To bed 11:30.
She did get a job that summer keeping house in a vacation cottage on Hudson lake over by New Carlyle, In. They must have been friends of the family because they treated her like family although she was working nonstop for them and got paid. Probably not much.
