Friday, August 30, 1929 - on an island in Lake Washington


We had breakfast about eight this morning. After breakfast we dashed downtown to get June and Jean Fisher down to the show on time. Then I went this time with Pop to Mr. White’s office to meet Mr. Tilbury. Then we went to Zuker’s to meet Mom and Mrs. Fisher. It was about eleven then and we waited and waited and waited. They didn’t show up until about twelve thirty. While we were waiting Mrs. Tilbury and the gang of kids showed up and later Mr. Fisher and June and Jean. Just before Mom and Mrs. Fisher got there, Mr. and Mrs. Tilbury and the kids went on. Mrs. Fisher was so slow that Mom missed her appointment so when they got there we went right to lunch. After eating we went to the store and Mom was fitted and then we collected supplies to take with us to the island. Then we dashed to the ferry so we wouldn’t miss the four o’clock ferry. We’re staying at Mr. Curby’s (another of Pop’s old friends). We had our supper outside. The men went back to Fisher for a good old fashioned bridge game.

Jane's Notes: This time they must be staying on Mercer Island. A bridge to Mercer Island was built from the Eastside in 1923. However to reach the island from Seattle required a ferry ride. The floating bridge from Seattle was completed in 1989. Mercer Island is the only island in Lake Washington.
