Saturday, May 18, 1929


We didn’t have as far to go today so we slept until seven instead of waking up at six. It was eight thirty be the time we got started. There was nothing unusual about our trip all day. We drove along a straight flat road down the valley. About ten after twelve we drove into Woodland where Mrs. Bagery (i.e. Manila friend) lives. We drove up to her house and she took us to the leading hotel for lunch. We talked after lunch and then went back to the house and saw the house they are building. It was three fifteen before we left there. We drove on thru the fruit county about four thirty we stopped at a stand and bought cherries, a basket. Inside of a half an hour they were all gone. We drove to the Stewart Hotel here in Frisco at just about seven o’clock. As soon as we got in Mom called up the Walters, some friends from Manila that had known me when I was a few years old. They came after dinner and talked until about then thirty.

Jane's Notes: I always remember cherries from our trips to California. We'd go to Lakeport to visit my grandmother and buy cherries to eat in the car along the way. We had to be sure and finish them before we got to the California border or they'd be sacrificed at the agriculture inspection station.
