Back to sunshine & back to W.H. early for lunch. At 3 P.M. I had to dress & go over to Oval O. for Aaron Shikler who is doing my official W.H. portrait. Correction—time got changed to 2 P.M. He did about an hours work—touching up here & there. I’m happy with how it turned out.

An early dinner with Dick, Patty & Jeff then down to the family theatre & about 40 guests for dinner, coffee & a movie. It was Jim Cagney in “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” It was great & everybody enjoyed it. A.C. & Marf were here for it.
