Some of the photos included in Linnea Gord Jensen's album also appear in Olga Malm Streeter's photo album. Olga Malm Streeter's album was scanned at the Pacific Lutheran University Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Archive. It includes photos of visits Wilma, Tyra, and Olga made to their mother's family, also in Finland.

Today
we were dated up to go on a picnic with the Malax young folks. We left home at 10 o'clock, boarded a boat at Åminneborg
and arrived at Silgrund at about noon.
That afternoon was spent in drinking coffee, sailing, taking pictures,
singing, laughing, and lying around doing nothing. If there's anything I hate to do, it’s lie
around doing nothing. Olga and I went
swimming, but it was so cold that we soon came out of the water.

We
didn't leave Silgrund until about 7, and arrived home about 6:30. At about 11 o'clock we all went to the
hall--where a dance was just starting.
At first there was a violin and the organ for dance music. Later Olga played violin and I played the
organ. They liked our music. That was queer.

The girls went to Petalax today to visit, but Auntie and I stayed home. I got a big bundle of papers from home, so I spent most of the day reading them. Spent the rest of the time writing letters.

Today
was rather a warm day, and we sat in the shade of the house and
embroidered. In the afternoon we worked
for a while in the factory.
