Belle, Arthur, Donald, and Grace up all day and Aunt Mary up too. Rained all night so Grace and Belle stayed all night. Arthur and Donald went home with Earl. We could not be alone only about an hour but we will make up for lost time some day.

Mrs Hawkins up all p.m. In evening Donald drove up after me. I went to the theatorium and then Earl and I went over to Owosso to see "Quincy Adams Sawyer". On our way home we saw someone trying to get honey from the basswood tree across the road but we scared them out.
