There was another heavy shower this morning. When we got up Enah started to get the hooks ready for Johnny Walker to get this after noon.
Quint and I fooled around till Daddy and Dick came down. Quint was going to {m...?} a lead {anchor?} in a flower pot.
Lila was sick this morning. Quint and Dick did not have to go to school this fore noon they are going to start their exams this after noon. Quint is going to quit school if he passes but will have to go another term if he fails.
When Daddy came down we went over and saw our rack at the Wide spread it was only about half done. Then Daddy went up to see if he could get Dave Waddle to come and shingle the barn. Then I put on Huby's old oil skin coat which stuck to me so tight I could hardly get it on and went over to Tommy's to get a load of shingles. We got six thousand and started for home. Daddy and I had dinner all alone, after dinner I slept till about four o'clock, and then we hooked up Harry and Belle to get some more shingles and nails. We got as far as Vyse's and Daddy thought he would go and see Stanley the colt that he would not give 10 cts for yesterday but which under his administration is now as good as new. I was waiting on the road for him when Johnny Walker came with the stuff. We then had to go all the way back home to help him unload. We piled the stuff in the wood shed and then there was not time to go down town. After tea Daddy and I carried in most of the hooks and set them in the hall.
Dick came home supperless about 9 o'clock and said Huby had got the boat house moved at last. He got Dave Waddle and some fishermen and Bill. Bill never showed up at all to-day. It looked to much like rain.
