Mary: July 29, 1924 Rib Lake, Wis.

Hello Friends,
How was your week? Mine was the same old same old. This weekend I will painting my living room and hallway. So I will starting to tape things up and getting thing out of the way so we can paint. me and my youngest daughter will have a busy day on Saturday.
Anyway here is the next letter from Mary.

As always, here is what it says:

          Rib Lake, Wis

          July 23, 1924

Hello Howard,

   Well, since I am

not busy just now

I'll try and right

write a decent letter.

I sp'ose your busy making

hay while the sun shines

and I'm glad I've not

got your job today.

Me for the shade.

I like warm weather

but if I had to work

outdoors today I

think I'd die.

  How'd you spend

your Sunday. I didn't

see you at Wellington

But Rosie gave me an

introduction to Dorthy

Mathews & Mildred  Engstrom.

Saturday evening I was

to a barn dance 7 Sunday

afternoon to a church

picnic out at Greenwood.

And Monday morning I

was so tired I almost

forgot to git up.

  How did you get home?

I hope you didn't break

down on the way.

And did they make you get

up at 5 o'clock again?

Say, I told Rosie about

those nets and she laughed

like a fool. She said:

"Well that's going some.' She

can laugh because she

doesn't use them any more.

   Well so long now

    good luck from

           Mary

Wellington is a lake that people like to hang out at, then and now. I've been there I think maybe once that I can think of. I am a swimmer but I did most of my swimming at the lake my other grandparents lived on, Sacketts Lake and  Mondeaux Dam. But a lot of people from the Rib lake area hung out there. I'm sure how much they do now a days. As for Greenwood, that's south of here aways so that was a lot of running around for a weekend. 

I'm not sure right now if Dorthy Mathews or Mildred Engstrom wrote to Grandpa but we'll find out over time if any of their letters show up here.

Well it looks like the hairnet in the last letter was her just being funny.

Now for a few random pictures based on things mentioned in this letter.

Just a couple of pictures taken at some lake. No idea who are in them.

And another picture of someone sitting on top of a hay pile. it kind of looks like it could be one of Grandpa and Grandma's kids.

Well that's about all I have this time.

Tomorrow, I paint. Wish me luck.

Your friend,

Sandy
