My last day of "vacation" was at the Rickwood Baseball Field. It was "1940"s day.  Lady Melanie had it all planned out for us to "dress the period".  Kellet was a nurse with every detail covered...from the shoes to the hat.  Lady Melanie was a true "housewife" and she had me dressed as " Rosie the Riveter".  I had on a plaid shirt, overalls and my hair wrapped in a bandanna.  People knew who exactly I was.  The two babies were dressed in pretty light blue dresses with their bonnets.  Even Lulu drank from a glass baby bottle, while she laid in an old fashion baby buggie.  Lots of people stopped to take pictures of us.  Even the Governor stopped to say " hello".  We sat next to a whole row of very nice Army men who ended up being the band.  It was hot, hot, hot that day but we all had the good ole fans on a stick to keep us cooler.  What a fun way to end my great week of vacation.  Chuck came to Melanie's to pick me up, that late afternoon.  I was finally on my way home.
