We woke up early enough to get an early start but there was so much to do that it was eleven thirty before we got started. There were dishes to do and I had to iron my dress. And before we started Aunt Mable and Uncle Gilbert had to call on somebody they knew. We were going to Decorah where Uncle Wilber and his family are. It was almost one before we finely got there. There are four kids in that family and we brought an extra one with us three cousins. So there was quite a house full of kids. We had lunch right away. There was a lot of talking after lunch so it was about three before the dishes were begun. Then a party was organized and we went to see the famous Ice Caves that has baffled wise men. We found ice but no reason why it should be cold. On the way home we went by the park. When we got home we did a lot of talking and then had supper. We started back about nine and then it was ten before we got home. And it’s cold. You don’t see me sitting up tonight.
Jane's Notes: today Decorah, Iowa is a city in and the county seat of Winneshiek County. The population was 8,127 at the 2010 census. Decorah is located at the intersection of State Highwat 9 and U.S. 2, and is the largest community in Winneshiek County. The main street probably looked a lot like this except for the age of the cars.
