I went out for the milk this morning and then took the milk to the Boyers. As they have an automobile, we were cleaning it and Mr. Boyer, Orla, Ethel & I went for a ride. It was the first time Mr. Boyer had it out. We went out the alley and went west to the end of the block then turned north to the corner and then went east two blocks and then south out as far as Grandma M's where we stopped and stayed in the road for over an hour. When we got started we went north to this side of the park. We turned west and went two blocks where we stopped again. We then backed around and went one block east and so home. It was about 3 o'clock. I went to Ethel's this afternoon. Zella went to town and got her "Easter" hat. Bernice and Baby went to the woods. Zella went to the rink. Bernice, Georgia & I went to town to-night.

Weather - fair in morning and cold and snow in afternoon.
[I was curious about what Zella and the girls' team might have been wearing for playing basket ball. There are tons of really great images out there. Here's one of a team from Mankato, Kansas at about this time. -- kp]
