my grandfather kept a log of the trip cross country in 1955. I have scanned it, and typed the text for easier reading.

Hugo has a very lovely home - 3 bedrooms. None of these California Homes have Dining Rooms as such. Most of them are in a section of the Living Room - no partition. In Hugo's case he arranged it to have it in an extension of the Kitchen. His house is on a corner lot about 100 ft front and 100 ft deep with a 2 Car Garage. Plans to make a den out of the garage later on and build a new garage. He has a pick-up truck that he drives to work and his wife uses the family car for shopping. We sang a few Prosits-hoisted a few drinks- sang some of the old German Songs and had a good time. For the Ladies he mixed up some Stingers which are made of Orange Juice and Vodka. To get the Orange Juice he went out into the Yard and pulled off a dozen or so that Dorothy put thru the squeezer. They are both definitely sold on the country and urge everybody that is willing to work to come out here.
