Ate dinner at Katy’s with Pete, Velma and Evelyn. Had a whole trout! Mmmm! Went with Mrs. Martens to the dedication of the beautiful gardens of the Presbyterian church at Dexter. They certainly show time, effort and a knowledge of landscaping – trees, lawns, shrubs, vines and flowers with paths, hedges etc. Surely enjoyed it – Went to supper at Mrs. Martens but came home right after. Alyce Claire came in about 5:30 from Tatum. Saw Bernard today. He was in church but he hasn’t come around yet but what peeves me most is that Roberta has probably gone back to Sam Marcos and all I saw of her was to say hello! Well! Well!
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
The Douglas Bridge between Juneau and Douglas Alaska opens today.
The Soviet Union directed a note of protest to Japan over the border incident, accusing the Japanese-Manchukuan detachment of breaching the Siberian border nearly a mile. The Japanese contended that it was the Russians who crossed the border.
It was a good day to take a picture. Here’s Washington D.C.
A magazine stand from today.
