Page 104

Tuesday May 27th 1930
We did not get up very early. It rained so we
both slept in PM. After early supper took a ride
out to Maywood and clear down town coming back.
Wednesday May 28th 1930
We went down town to a picture show. Then
had lunch and a long street car ride out to
LaGrange to see Louie Bremner. It was supper
time when we got home. Was tired and went to bed.
Thursday May 29th 1930
Rob Whetstones birthday. Winnie came with me to
the ten oclock train. I had a nice trip home.
After I put my things away went up town and got
things for supper. I did some telephoning, unpacked
my things. Read papers. Letters from Maurine Reed,
Mrs Seaton & Mrs Doyle. I did enjoy my trip to Chicago.
Friday May 30th 1930
Was home all day. Busy about the house in AM.
Slept in PM. Rob took me up there to spend the
evening. The Jellisons and Hattie brought me home.
Saturday May 31st 1930
I went to The Cemetery early. Stopped in The Campus
to listen to band concert. Got things for the table on the
way home. Slept in PM. Hattie came later and Ott took us
to his house for his 50 graduation anniversary dinner.
Mary helped him through with it beautifully. It was
as Fannie would want it. William brought us home. Letters
from Laura, Lydia in Peoria Hospital. Wrote them. Letter from Ida.
