But I thorght you said we would go south of Ann Arbor and direct to Ypsilanti said my mother with a smirk.
I did say that but I thorght I would surprise you by comeing into Ann Arbor replid my father with a corse jesture.
Personly I think the suprise was unanimous.
Well now we are here said my mother we might as well look up Bill.
Bill is my uncle Bill so we stoped at the Alfa Delt house and got him and took him down to the hotel for supper and my old man called up Mr. Yost the football coach of the Michigan football team and he come down and visited with us.
What kind of a team have you got coach said my father lamely.
I have got a determined team replid Mr. Yost they are determined to not play football.
At this junction my unlucky mother changed the subjeck to the league of nations and it was 10 o’clock before Mr. Yost come to a semi colon so we could resume our jurney and by the time we past through Ypsilanti the peaple was not only subnormal but unconsius. It was nerly midnight when we puled up in frunt of my ants and uncles house in Detroit that had been seting up since 7 expecting us.
Were sorry to be so late said my mother bruskly.
Were awfully glad you could come at all replid my ant with a ill consealed yawn.
We will now leave my relitives to get some sleep and end this chapter.

Erie Lake
The boat leaves Detroit every afternoon at 5 oclock and reachs Buffalo the next morning at 9 tho I would better exclaim to my readers that when it is 9 oclock in Buffalo it is only 8 oclock in Goshen for instants as Buffalo peaple are qeer.
Well said my father the next morning at brekfus I wander what time we half to get the car on the board of the boat.

Sure enough he called up dureing the fornoon and said the car must be on the board of the boat at 3 oclock so my father left the house at 2 oclock and drove down to the worf tho he had never drove a car in Detroit before but has nerves of steal. Latter my uncle come out to his home and took myself and mother and ant down to the worf where my old man was waiting for us haveing put the car on the board.
What have you been doing ever since 3 oclock arsked my mother as it was now nerly 5.

A messenger took our costly bagage and put it away wilst myself and parents went out on the porch and set looking at the peaple on the worf. Suddenly they was a grate hub bub on the worf and a young man and lady started up the gangs plank wilst a big crowd throwed rice and old shoes at them and made a up roar.

Instantly the boat give a blarst on the wistle and I started with suprise.

They have got nothing on us replid my father quick as a flarsh.
A little latter who should come out on the porch and set themselfs ner us but the bride and glum.
Oh I said to myself I hope they will talk so as I can hear them as I have always wandered what newlyweds talk about on their way to Niagara Falls and soon my wishs was realized.
Some night said the young glum are you warm enough.
