We had planed to go on this morning but Mr. Maxwell persuaded Pop to stay on a day. They planned a day of picnic. But Mr. Maxwell and Frank had work to do and it was one before we got started. Mary, Shirley, June and I didn’t get up until late and we had breakfast in our kimonos and took our time dressing and fooling around until before we knew it the men folk were back and they were getting the lunch ready (Mrs. Maxwell and Margaret, not the men folk). Before lunch was ready I took the car load of kids downtown to do some errands. We were in the rush of traffic at noon and I parked and drove all around in the thick of it. That’s the first time I’ve been a part of Monday traffic in the new car and in the USA. We finally got out to the lovely place in the woods. All the kids but me went in swimming in the river. I stood on the shore and skipped stones. It was almost supper time when they got out. After supper we danced. We’re staying all night in a little cottage on the banks of the river. A romantic spot.
