This morning I got up about 8:30. Right after I had taught my class we hurried downstairs and drove off with the family. We went to a picnic at Calowand. We left at about 10:10 and got out there at 12:10. It was a rough drive. When we got out there the Penn, Wickwaners, Larking, Don & Edgar, Frances R, and the Rofs were there. They had all started out early in the morning and had been in swimming. We all had lunch soon after we got there. The Salmons got there just as we were starting lunch. Right after lunch I got into my suit and three quarters of an hour later went in. I stayed in for about an hour and a half and got quite a sunburn. After we got out we had some more to eat and we started home about four thirty. We got into Manila just at six. We had dinner and afterwards we played several hands at bridge. Fred called me and said Myra Belle had tonsillitis and they wouldn’t be able to come. Its the third time I’ve asked them and the third time something stopped them.
