Harriet: Dec. 11, 1928 Chicago, Ill.

Dear Friends,
Well, It's Friday, finally. It was a long boring week for me. Work was very uneventful for me. Which is not a bad thing. I just didn't have a lot to do most days. The only excitement I had was that Tuesday after I post the last post the internet went down. Not just for me but a very big area. I'm not sure when it came back on that night but I did notice that the light was lite on my box the next morning while I was getting ready for work.That was the extent of my excitement this week.
Anyway here is the next letter from Harriet.

   I'm not sure if this letter was put in the wrong envelope at some point or it didn't get in the mail until Dec. 11th.
As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what it says:

                     Chicago Ill
                    Nov. 26 1928

I wonder if it was just put in the wrong envelope but I'm thinking it was.
Not much here.
I wonder if they did hook up at any point.

Here is a picture from the scrap book:

The Munising (Mich.) Development club is completing its new slide and will hold its tour-
nament Sunday. Here is the tricky method used in erecting the slide. The horses in the fore-
ground pulled the rope which was attached to a toboggan. The toboggan was loaded with lumber for
the slide and pulled to the summit of the hill.

I wonder what it looked like once it was done.
I hope everyone had fun that day.

Here is a page from the joke book:

This is the first part of a bit that was done on the radio. I'll post the second part next time.

Here is a random picture:

All loaded up and ready to go!

Well that's about all I have to share with you today.
I hope you will come back soon for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your Friend,
Sandy
