I have been very lazy this morning. After breakfast I read for awhile then everybody got collected and we started on a trip to see Deception Pass. It was a lovely ride and beautiful scenery when we got there. After we got home I flopped on the couch and read again until lunch. After lunch and the dishes I came up and wrote a letter to Myrabele and then read some more. Later I went down and took a bath then I mended some stockings and repacked my suitcase. By that time Uncle Ed was home (we got glimpses of him several times on our trip) and it was time for supper. After the dishes, everybody bundled into coats and sweaters and I went with Uncle Ed and the rest in our car. We went down to the southern part of the island where there was an Army post and saw the view of the bay. On the way back we saw one of the few remaining block houses. After we got home Uncle Ed told us some entertaining stories. Aunt Blanche is a dear. She is so gentle and sweet. Ellen is very much like her. Al, her husband, is regular!
Jane's Notes: They must be on Whidby Island. Deception Pass has a bridge now, built in 1934. And the Army Post she is referring to must have been Ft. Casey. It was placed on inactive status in 1935.
