around the
lake. It was lovely - especially the clouds on the mountains in the sky.
Mr.
&
Mrs. Sanders were quite nice, and a Mr.
& Mrs. Bedell (?) of Fort
Plain. &c. &c. It was quite zippy & cool down
the other end - a lovely day, all around. The sun was under when I tried to
take the hotel, but came out later, when I took a walk first in to
the greeny woods, where some squirrels were having a very noisy
argument, then, outside Ampersand Park. I turned to the
right and explored a lovely road, down a hill, across a bridge, thro' some
pines, and to an open space where I climbed the fence and took a
distant mountain new. Met a small boy with a 4th of july pistol, going
home. The
Lees met him too, they said at dinner, being just out
of sight behind me coming from Mrs. L
aunt's cottage, next the golf links - I dressed for dinner,
in my silk. Most of the ladies did - and afterwards there was dancing.
Mr. El- kins asked me several times, but I didn't
dance. I talked with people, a nice old lady, also Mr.
Willard McKinstry of the Watertown Times, who
told us about the Watertown Centennial last week etc. I went
upstairs about 10:30. They danced much later.
June 29. Thursday.
A beautiful day, clear
and fine. Directly after breakfast Papa and I took a long walk way around to the golf links,
by the road I found last night - the short way is under water, the
lake is so high. There is a good view of the hotel from there. Soon after
we got back they posed for a pic-
6/28/25
around the
lake. It was lovely - especially the clouds on the mountains in the sky.
