Summer Guests? Have Them Draw a Pig

June 9, 2019

In another week, I’ll leave for my family’s summer cottage, Twin Pines, on a lake in Wisconsin. I feel closer to Emilie Loring during summer vacation. She changed to navy blue shorts, with a top of gay India print, white sandals, and caught up the green and gold pennant.  Give Me One Summer True, we … More Summer Guests? Have Them Draw a Pig

from Valentine Loring Titus, Emilie Loring’s granddaughter:
