Page 57

Tuesday October 10th 1916
Lizzie and I left after an early dinner to find rs
Bennett and had a pleasant call and went away
out farther to find a Mrs Jona Reed that Effie had told
us about. Did not find her. We then went down to the depot
to see about trains and on The Blue Line Taxi out to Summer
to see Mrs Swarthout. She had been in the city and went
out with us. We only staid a few moments. Got back to
Tacoma to get out on the 5:30 Taxi I did our packing after
supper and we had a jolly evening all together.
Wednesday October 11th 1916
We were up very early and left Art Robinsons at 6:45. We
verily have had a good time with there friends. We left
Tacoma at 8:15 and had a comfortable ride to North Galena.
Maurice and family met us and after a ride around their
beautiful little city went to their pleasant home five
miles west of there. Through fine apple orchards. Visited in
the evening and listened to Eugene play piano.
Thursday October 12th 1916
We took a long Auto ride in forenoon to see wonderful
dam and irrigating ditch. Spent the rest of day at home.
Friday October 13th 1916
We went down town this morning and I got some more
things out of the trunk. Then we took a ride up another
valley. The afternoon at home. We went to a dinner in the
evening given for a member of "The Jolly Bunch." There was a 
long table set the length of two rooms. We enjoyed the party very much.
