SCARLETT, SIX FLAGS & HOT CARS -APRIL 1987 (Edited)

APRIL 10, 1987

Friday

I’m excited! It’s a beautiful day outside (a little windy; well, very windy, but beautiful and sunny!)

Tonight Randall is coming over and later, Barry and Sherri are coming - and we’re all going miniature golfing and riding around in Randall’s brand new red convertible! We’re probably going to ride all around Dallas in the neat little car and take a blanket to White Rock Lake and sit out and star gaze. I’ll like that!

I heard from Randall for the first time in a couple of weeks the other night. I had told myself that he had to call me. It took a little while, but I think he’s really missing me. He said so. He called and said “Hi stranger!” He can be so funny sometimes.

Well, a few minutes ago, Louis called me here at work. He said that we need to go to the GWTW museum tomorrow. I had about decided I wasn’t going to see it at all. This is the last weekend. He said something last Sunday about going, but again, I decided that he was to call me, I wasn’t going to call him. Well, he did! And he REALLY wants to go! This will be a fun and beautiful weekend.

April 4 - Louis and I went out to eat and came back over to my apartment to watch The Way we Were.

(2022 comment - If I remember correctly, the night did not end in a kiss and I woke up thinking negatively - so I skipped church)

You know, I love being single. I just like having something to do most of the time.

Monday

I had a really good weekend! Very good, in fact!

FRIDAY - Randall took me, Sherri and Barry riding around in his brand new, hot, red Iraq (Iroc) Z convertible. It’s crazy that he got that car, because it’s a $25,000 car and that’s almost his annual salary. This is a guy who hasn’t even moved out from his parents’ house.

SATURDAY - I woke up and had an overdue breakfast with Bill Flynt.

I arrived in Arlington, at Louis’ at about 10:17 a.m. He was replanting a plant. He looked nice. It wasn’t long before we were off to Fort Worth.

It took us a while to find a parking space, but we finally parked in a lot with no attendant, so we didn’t pay. (Louis was a little worried.) It was funny. He has such a fun way about him. I like the way he talks, his phrasing of words, is somehow… funny (humorous.) We walked quite a while in Ft. Worth (Downtown) and ended up, Finally, at the GWTW exhibit. Oh, I tell you, I walked in and became teary-eyed. My first sight was of the velvet curtain dress.

("Just saw it in the window and I couldn't resist.")

We then got some fried chicken (had a little trouble finding some,) took it to a park and ate. We didn’t have a blanket, but it was fun, anyway. We walked and saw the water gardens (where Peter Ustinov stood in Logan’s Run.) That was neat!

I left about 5:00 because he had somewhere to go that night. It was a great day.

Monday

I had a fun, interesting and lonely weekend all in one. If it weren’t for Louis, it would have been an incredibly lousy weekend. But alas, there’s Louis.

FRIDAY - I was off work. I arrived at Louis’ apartment about 4:30. It wasn’t long before he was ready to go eat. I just had a salad, but he had a plateful of spaghetti. We went to Six Flags park from there. After getting the tickets for the Michael W. Smith concert, he realized that the tickets were good for the park AND concert. Louis said my little eyes brightened up. We thought we might ride a couple of rides after the concert.

The concert was really good. I had never heard of this guy before (he does music with Amy Grant.) He had a lot of latin beats, which I loved.

After the concert, we had backstage passes and met Michael Smith. It didn’t seem anything too important since I didn’t even know who he was until that week. But nonetheless, it was neat.

When we left there, we went walking around the park and decided to ride the Cave. When doing so, we were in the back of the boat with two strangers in the front.

We walked around and I had my arm through his and he sure didn't seem to draw away. We only rode that one ride.

He suggested we go to Six Flags this Saturday. We then decided to take two of his nephews (Bea’s oldest) John and Eric. He said if they couldn’t go, we’d go anyway. He obviously likes being around me. We just have so much fun!
