In 1941, Mother went on a trip with Laurel Hill, her mother, sisters and some cousins. Laurel was the school teacher at the Lynn School for several years and boarded with our family. Mother and Laurel were good friends. Laurel's brother, Jack, was on a mission in Missouri and joined the vacation for several days. I really didn't realize that she was going anywhere until right before she left. Things at home didn't change for us, but I got to do all the cooking while she was gone. When she came back she told us stories and showed photos of the things she'd seen. I think her stories are what gave me the desire to see the places she told us about.
The last few years Paula has been scanning family photos and we found many photos of Mother's trip. She asked me questions, but I couldn't remember much information about the trip. Recently, we were happy to have the opportunity to borrow the scrapbook that Mother put together about the trip. We scanned the scrapbook and you can see a copy of it, and relive her adventures, by
