Mrs. Davis’s birthday. Had the loveliest ice cream cake (looked like a beautifully decorated cake but was three layers of ice cream on the inside.)
Wally came over about 3. Went to Olentangy Park. Pretty swimming pool. Rode on the airplanes and Wally took a roller coaster ride. Walked to church. Wally up for treasurer of BY. Preacher says if it rains 1” over one square mile it would take 15 miles of boxcars to hold it. Too tired to stay for Fireside hour.

Went over to Wally’s room about 3 and we hiked along the River from King to Lane. I sketched some while Wally gathered wood. Then went across the river to the Big Bear store for wieners and buns and drinks and potato chips. Waited until the fire died down before we cooked them. Delicious.
Got home about 10:00 plenty tired.
