something exciting, its a wonderful world!

The following weekend we left Roy at home, and Sunday after- noon Betty and I went out to take some pictures. But to the dis- appointment of both of us the film was a bad roll, so none of these pictures came out.

Monday evening, Roy and I made one more trip to Mexico, and I said goodbye to the FPs and some other friends down there. The next day came all too soon, because Loretta's vacation was about to come to an end. Yes, it was about time to start back to Texas, and once again live as a man in the daytime, and only have time for Loretta at night, and on weekends. So the next day, although I put it off for as long as I could, I finally got busy taking off my nail polish and getting rid of all traces of lipstick and make- up, and packed my clothes and got my brother's things out. Boy did I feel unnatural in men's clothes!! Like a fish out of water, or maybe I should say, like a girl, out of dresses. Its a funny thing, but when my brother changes to Loretta, he's gone. None of his habits stay with her, or linger over into her. But when Loretta goes back to being a man, she lingers on. And for the next few days, he has to watch his habits. For instance, the way he holds a cigarette, or when he starts to smooth a skirt that isn't there, when he sits down, or his walk, or a lot of other little feminine habits that Loretta has.

But anyway, like I said, I finally got things packed and the car loaded and the next morning, after saying goodbye to Betty, I left and started back home.

When I first started out, I was very sad that my vacation was over. But as I drove along and thought of all the places Loretta had been, and the things she had done in the last four weeks, I felt very happy and good inside, for I had some wonderful mem- ories, of my 26 days as a woman.
