Today was a beautiful day and warm. After breakfast June and I had to go up and pack because we were to leave at ten thirty. We got thru at ten and just as we got down stairs Jim Nevins called up and said he wanted to come out. Gerald, June and I went down to Frankfort after him in Uncle Harry’s car. When we got back Aunt Carrie had ice cream and strawberries ready for us. It all delayed us and it was quarter to twelve before we finally got started. After we hit the main highway into Topeka I drove almost in city. The first time I‘ve driven the car any distance. You don’t have to have a driver’s license here. When we got to Topeka we looked up Star Marply, my cousin but he was home so we went on to Laurence where we looked up cousin Lottie. She wasn’t home so we went and looked over the K U Campus and came back. When we finally found them the girls (Lottie) asked us to go swimming. We had a lovely swimming. After dinner Star and his family came over from Topeka. It was after ten before we went to bed.
