June 30, 1930

Got up early and walked over the hills to Julius with Mother and Aunt Sophie. On the way we saw an odyx, a toad, and a little dead porcupine. We stopped on the way to pick a few berries. As we came to a stream there was no bridge across it, only a few logs. Mother said she would rather wade through the stream than cross the logs. Aunt S. & I were about half way across when mother let out a scream. I nearly lost my balance on the logs then. She thought she had seen a crab coming toward her. We finally got there after 2 hrs. walk! There I met Emma & Victor. They all treated us very nice. Emma wanted me to stay for a few days. We took the long way home because mother was too tired to climb the hills. On the way I picked a large bouquet of flowers. We were some sight when we got home about 8 'clock. We went over to visit Susie Stempel for a little while. I watched them bake bread outside in an oven at Julius.
