This is Installment 28 of the Journal of Della (Smith) Carringer, my great-grandmother, who resided at 2115 30th Street in San Diego in 1929.
The "players" and "setting" are described here. Pictures of some of the players are here. Last week's Journal entry is here.

---------------------------------------
This was a week of all work and no play, it seems.
I have a picture of Emily and her cousin Mary Emily from Kentucky from their childhood - I've never known who Mary Emily was. I still don't know, I wish she had listed Mary Emily's surname or the names of her parents. I have no clue who the Gregg's are - perhaps friends of Mary Emily's family. Mary Dyar is a cousin from Della's side of the family.
