Beautiful, bright & cool. Arose 10 A.M. Breakfast. Odd jobs, dinner. Read. H.H. & I on hike, out Rosa Road and thence to Aqueduct; home on trolley. Studied. Out on errands, to station after battery, to Sterling Art Shop after Marion etc. Home. Supper. Talked. Father, Marion, H.H. & I played ROOK. To bed 12 P.M.  Father's and Mother's 42nd Wedding Anniversary. Thankful for God's protection and guidance over them for that long period of years.

**********
According to Google maps of present-day Schenectady, the hike Hanford and Stanford took was about 3.8 miles. Below is a possible route, starting home at 110 Park Place.

It's not clear why Marion was at Sterling Art Shop; perhaps she worked there? Was she picking up a gift for Stillman and Fanny? Anyway, here's an ad for the shop in a January 1930 local newspaper.
