Saturday, September 7, 1929 - Eugene


Our first day of living alone. Mom and Pop kissed us goodbye this morning before we were even up. They left before seven o’clock this morning. June and I finely got up. It was cold this morning and we felt the need of another blanket. After we had eaten breakfast and washed the dishes and dressed we went to the Post Office to mail some letters that Pop had written last night. On the way back we stopped at various stores including the dime store. We were about a block from the apartment when we past a familiar figure and I looked back so did he and it was Boone Hendricks. He seemed quite glad to see me. He asked if he could call. This was about ten. About eleven forty he came. He stayed about an hour. He was leaving for Portland soon. By the time June and I got dinner (after he had gone) and had eaten and washed the dishes it was time to go to the dentists. On the way home about five we stopped at the show. We got out at seven and rushed home, got dinner in about two jerks and ate and washed up. We’re becoming quite expert at it!

Jane's Notes: I believe that my grandparents went to California to check in on Eleanor.
