Finally our new school house is finished!
"Hello Mrs. Lunden. My Mother told us to bring along this picnic lunch.
Are we all having a picnic today?"
"Yes girls, we are, but it is more than that. Since you two girls have been so helpful in setting our new school in order Mr. Lunden and I thought you deserved to come along with us today to select books for our school. We will leave momentarily for the train-station."
"TRAIN STATION!?"
"Yes we already spoke to your parents. They were happy to let you come along with us."
"Oh, Josefina, I can't believe we are riding a trian today!"
"Me either. I wonder where we are going?"
"Don't let your doll out of the window! I almost lost Else that way."
"NEXT STOP, SANTA BARBARA!"
"Santa Barbara!"
"Look at the beautiful scenery girls!"
"Mrs. Lunden, how do we get to the shop from the train?"
"We have arranged the use of a wagon dear."
"Oh."
"Are these all the school books you have?"
"Yes sir."
"Come girls. let's take a look together. I will select the text books,
you will please select books for reading."
"Ooo, look Mr. Lunden an Alphabet book with pictures!"
"Yes, that will be useful for small children."
"This looks interesting, I wonder what it's about?"
"My Papa read it, I think it is an adventure about shipwreck!"
"I love my Fairy Tale book, let's choose this one."
"Here girls, this one is quite new, but I think you would enjoy it.
I believe we have selected enough books for today.
You girls go outside and wait in the wagon while we make our purchase."
" I wonder where we will have our picnic?"
"Here is our picnic spot."
"The Santa Barbara Mission?"
"Yes Josefina, your uncle has asked us to deliver a note to the Padre here.
He suggested we might make it our stop for luncheon."
"This is a wonderful place for a picnic."
"I agree."
"It's so beautiful here."
"Yes, it is."
"Time to go girls! Or we'll miss the train."
"It was nice of Mrs. Lunden to bring us a blanket for the ride home."
"I think we have the nicest teachers anywhere."
"Me too!"

Looks like Kirsten and Josefina had a great time.

What a lovely story. These are always fun to read and look at the photos. I can't imagine doing all of that photo editing!
You are welcome Marion! Glad you enjoyed it.
Kirsten and Josefina had SUCH a great day. I mean a RIDE ON A TRAIN, looking though books and a picnic. I'm sure they fell asleep all snuggled in that afghan on the train home. :)
I enjoy the photo editing, but it is time consuming. I knew I wanted to start up Kirsten and Josefina's adventures with their new school, it just took me awhile to get it ready. I am really glad you liked it.
Wonderful post. I love the books that you have. They look like first editions.

All of those books will make a wonderful start for the school library. A train ride and a picnic makes for a day the girls won't soon forget.

IT was a lovely day for everyone. What a great start for their new school!
The books are actually just images I selected from the web. I don't know what I was thinking, I DO have some very old books I could have used!
Brenda, these are wonderful!
Thank you Linda! I enjoy making them.
