Thursday, August 1, 1929 - Evanston, Ill.


After much preparation and packing we finely get started at ten after many adieus and kissing. It was only twenty some odd miles but it was all thru city and it took us almost two hours to get there. We went to the Roy’s. Ollie is Mom’s cousin and Frank is an old friend, LeRoy friend. They have three children, Marion, six weeks younger than I am and two sons fifteen and twelve. We had lunch and after lunch Mom and Ollie did the dishes but they talked so much that it was four thirty before they finished. Marion told me all about Ames where she’s going to school and June was entertained by the two boys. And Pop slept. About five Frank came home and we all went upstairs to dress. We all went out to a country club for supper. It was a lovely dinner. Afterwards Pop, Frank, Marion and I played bridge while Mom and Ollie talked and June and the boys entertained themselves. After we got home we sang all the songs they had and then played games and such until we were too sleepy to do anything but go to bed.
