A small smiley face is drawn below the text. The right page's text begins with "off to workshop" and lists several events, including mentions of students and adults engaged in activities and an arrival noted at a specific time. The text is written in casual, cursive handwriting.

Transcription
my response. Put a little space between the lemons. Put space between reactions. Try being-was it Havilah-Lisioux-and see the face of Jesus, A middle eastern, swarthy, little man. :)

off to workshop-Quinane? fun. And it was fun. Students were engaged. Adult professors + Shelley + Debby were great & also engaged. Gretchen arrived @ 6:15 & we went to Chef Kevin's. Very loud. Food was good. Personal dynamics were.
