Genevieve Smith: Sept. 24, 1929 Westboro, Wis.

Dear friends,
Well it's the end of another week. For me the week has been uneventful. The weather has been hot and cool with rain. It almost feels like fall is trying to make it's self felt already. I'm just hoping that we will be able to go hiking this weekend. But it looks like there is high chance of rain.
Oh well, here is the next letter from Genevieve:

 As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what it says:

                 Westboro, Wis.

I wonder if they got together at any of those places. I don't think Grandpa did any dancing tho. He was not the dancing kind.
I wonder what she was doing in Prentice and how long she stayed there.
It kind of sounds like she was bored. I wonder what kind of news she was looking for.
I wonder how warm it was that day?

Here is a picture from the scrap book:

If it isn't snow, it's water. Here's the latest problem for Milwau-
kee county. This picture shows a car splashing along on the
Blue Mound road near the county institutions.__ Journal Photo.

Mother Nature was out of control even back then.

Here are a couple of pages from the joke book, "Bedtime Laughs":

 Enjoy. They will make you smile.

Finally, here is a random picture:

This picture, I think, was taken the same time as the last one I showed you. I do not anyone in the picture. I wonder if Grandma took it.

Well that's about all I have to share with you today.
I hope you will drop by again real soon for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy
