while Dad. & Frank cultivated potatoes. Sunday was a very hot day, we all went to church & Dad stayed down and went down to the beach with Dick Marj. & I went for a drive in the evening. Sunday after noon was decoration day and the band went with the oddfellows to the cemetry.

It was late when I got the scaffold fixed so I only got about an hour's work in on it. Frank cut some hay Monday after noon. Tuesday he & Dad. went up to Jack McBride's and got some fence & posts to put across the corner field to let the sheep in where the hay was taken off. Wednesday I was down town all day finished Ben's sign and got five dollars for it and got Quint's big game board all penciled out to paint. Thursday I went down and spent most of the day painting it but finished this after noon. Marj's father came in Wednesday night and she was with him most of the after noon. Dad. & Frank shocked up the hay to-day & Frank raked it. Friday was the great Dominion Day and there was a bigger crowd into Dover I think than ever before There must have been a thousand cars in town parked every where you looked and running all over, and the radial cars were packed. Frank Dad. & I cocked up the hay in the forenoon and Dad
