The alarm goes off at 0626 and we bounce out of bed because Nancy has a meeting with a vendor at 0930. The meeting is in Livonia. We stop at Duncan Donuts and purchase coffee and donuts for our trip. It is 133 miles to the Embassy Suites in Livonia the site of the vendor show. Nancy spent over 2 hour looking at items for the gift shop. She made a few purchases. Our next destination is the Ikea store. We both purchase several items for the home. Our shopping day is not ended. We stop at the Outlet Mall in Livingston County. I purchase some gym shorts and a pair of Bermuda's. Nancy also made several purchases. We got home a 5 PM. It was a long but fruitful day.
HC and 1 of the church ladies got home about 6:30. It is now 9:51 and HC is expecting a call from the other church lady so she can pick her up. Nancy and I hope to be in bed by 10 PM. It has cooled off nicely so no AC will be required tonight.
June 28, 1927 with Grandmother Hughes in London. Grandmother wrote: "Victoria Embankment, Billingsgate Fish Market, St Paul's, Tower of London, saw Old Curiosity Shop and where Fabian lived, In the evening through slums of East End, Jewish quarter, Chinese, seven dials, Staple Inn, a relic of old London where Dr Johnson lived, Smithfield, a place of public executions now a great meat center, St Giles Cripplegate Church where Cromwell was married and Milton and Frobisher are buried". Grandmother Hughes had a busy day, she wrote two more pages of places she visited but I am too tired to continue. Needless to say Grandmother loved English history and was having a great time in London.
Ossineke, MI this date in 1938. Great Grandfather Sanborn wrote that he worked in the garden in the morning with his daughter, Julia. Kitten finished plowing in the morning and cultivated the garden in the afternoon. Kitten's bill was $20, GG paid $12 on the bill. In the afternoon GG gave another daughter, Laura, a cone knife to cut grass.
