Hitty Rose and Lewis are so excited to be heading to Put-In-Bay for the day. They are waiting to board the Miller Ferry.
The Hittyville Friends are finally on their way and Lewis has found a fellow gull watcher.
On the Island in Lake Erie...
Put-In-Bay is celebrating the Bicentennial of Perry's Victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Erie, during the War of 1812.
Time for some Lobster Bisque at the Boardwalk!
Such a beautiful view from their table.
Hitty Rose loves the band!
After lunch...
Lewis doesn't understand why some Friends insist on celebrating Christmas in July.
Hitty Rose asks Lewis if he would like to go on the Merry-Go-Round. Lewis says he is too full of Lobster Bisque. Hitty Rose secretly thinks he is a bit of a chicken when it comes to rides.
Put-In-Bay has some beautiful homes and Hitty Rose shows Lewis this amazing YELLOW house. Hitty Rose wonders if she and Lewis might share such a house someday.
Lewis has found something much more interesting than a house...a YELLOW bicycle!
Lewis and Hitty Rose admire the 352 foot high Peace Memorial which celebrates the lasting peace between the United States, Canada, and Great Britain.
The Butterfly House has a room with REAL butterflies who land on your fingers, if you are very quiet.
And then...
Lewis is a little nervous about the ferry ride back to the mainland. The clouds are gathering, the winds have picked up, and the lake is full of swells...Hitty Rose assures Lewis it will be just fine and offers to hold his hand if he gets too nervous.
Back in Hittyville...
Lewis loves the Put-in-Bay Pirate's Jewels Hitty Rose surprised him with once they got home. Hitty Rose really is the best...She has promised not to tell anyone she had to hold his hand on the ferry ride.
Meanwhile...
Hitty Rose cannot believe Lewis gave her this lovely bell from their day together. There is no one quite like Lewis in Hitty Rose's world.
And finally...
Hello Friends!
Amelia Thimble here.
Look what that odd little boy who is all about YELLOW delivered to my doorstep today...a magnificent thimble from Put-In-Bay!
That really was nice of Lewis...I think that is his name. He told me whenever he sees a thimble, he thinks of me.
I need to send him the best kind of thank you note. I know...I will compose a poem about the color YELLOW and write it on YELLOW paper.
I hope that makes him happy.
And maybe then, next year, he will take both ME and Hitty Rose to Put-In-Bay, which would be a fantastic adventure for a little ball-jointed doll like me.
See you next time...
Love~Amelia
