T's still "fugiting." Let's see, I got to Wednesday night -- 10th. The next morning, Aunt Jennie & Uncle Ed went up town again leaving Cecil here & got back about lunch time. They left for Burlingame in the middle of the afternoon. I didn't accomplish much that day, but did work on my dress a little. In the evening, we went for a ride out to Central Ave. trying to find Uncle Jim's, but e didn't remember the directions well enough.
It rained all night and all day Friday. Friday was Bricky's fourth birthday. I ironed in the morning, finished my dress in the afternoon. Ruth Luce & Helen Christman came over & made some candy & we played a map game of Ruth's.
Saturday, I worked hard, cleaned the whole house & bathed kids & myself. Daddy worked for Dave C. in the p.m. Bricky went to the Cozy with Ruth Robinson. When Daddy came home, he said "Let's go to Burlingame." Of course, I was willing. After we were all ready, we had to wait for Bricky to come home from the show. We got started about 7:30. We went through Auburn road & it was fine -- the best road we've struck yet. The roads in Burlingame were terrible, the paving & rain at fault. About the first person I saw was Neil -- he seemed quite glad to see us. Papa & Glenn were with him. Bricky went into the show and found Granny. I went down to Sutherland's and got a pattern for Bricky's blue organdy dress. On my way, I met Mrs. Mable Reese & baby & she went with me. We then went up to the rest room so baby could "lunch" where Mama and Bricky found us. Mabel went home & we went up to the dance. Dorothy was there & she told me she was going home with us. Nellie H. Middleton came over & sat by us & she & I had a nice chat. When we left, she walked down the street with us. I also saw Clara Briggs & baby. Daddy took care of Jackie all evening -- quite a relief for me.
Sunday morning, Mama & I had quite a confidential talk. Called Babe & invited her out for dinner, but they didn't come until after dinner. Then Dad, John, Jimmy & Neil went to the ball game. Babe seems to feel quite gay -- says she's getting lazier all the time. Jimmy got a woman to do their washing. Bricky & Jackie were quite cranky, but I finally got them both rocked to sleep after which we got a little peace until they awoke. Uncle Leon & family stopped a few minutes. Jimmy & John fixed Papa's desk (one Grandpa Hayson gave him) & then we all ate supper, immediately after which we all started for home. We went for Dorothy & Glenn & another boy road to Burlingame with us. We stopped at Zella's for Bricky's birthday present, some novelty print for a dress & pattern. Zella & family dined with Ernest Spaldings. Ha! Sat. nite, Babe went to a shower for Beth Haller -- she is going to marry Fred Schenck. Mildred Bush is going to have a six-week kindergarten & Buster is going. Leo stopped in soon after we got home & kidded Dorothy a bit, tried to get her to go for a ride, but she wouldn't go.
Monday, I sewed & made Bricky's dress, the one Zella gave her. Got a letter from Bernice. Monday eve. we went for a ride out to the S.B.A, got Mabel & then went to Gage's & to Garfield & took Mabel home. It rained in the night and part of Tuesday morning.
I washed Tuesday. Mabel came to town, here for supper; then we three women went to the Novelty. The Seamen Players were "it." Mabel stayed all night. John took her out Wednesday morning. Dorothy went with them. Oh, yes! Bricky went with Ruth & Helen to the Presbyterian Bible School, Tuesday a.m., also Wed. & Thurs. She went up town with Dorothy Tues. afternoon.
I ironed Wednesday morning. Dorothy went out to the S.B.A. about 10 o'clock & got back about 5 o'clock. She went to a show with Florence Hanna in the evening. Daddy took us for a ride -- out to Highland Park, to Pauline & home.
Yesterday, I felt punk but managed to finish my ironing. We went for another ride last night. Dorothy went with us -- also Horace. We went to Garfield to see Soldier's Creek -- it was up, then we went to Pauline to see a house that was for rent. We had an idea of moving "out" & saving some money, but it was rented. Had some ice cream after we got home.
Did my Friday cleaning this a.m. & mending. Dorothy & Bricky have gone up town this afternoon & I washed my hair. I am sure away behind in all my work. I forgot to say that I got a lesson back a week ago yesterday -- got 97. I finished reading Fannie Kilbourne's story in the Colliers -- O.K., but nothing special. Have started The Professor's House by Willa Cather. Am up to June 6 in Colliers. Got July Companion today. Oh, yes, and we got a letter from Marian Haney Saturday.
