All of us went up to Uncle Arts for dinner and had a great time with lots of good laughs. Grandpa and Elsie came out after dinner so we had a real nice visit. Did the chores in a hurry when we got home and Jean and I attended church together at night for the first time since we were married and it was High School night at that. A dandy day and a wonderful one for me.

April Thursday 28 1927

A fine cool day for working horses and I accomplished quite a lot of work when I harrowed the south half of oat field twice and rolled it in front of the drill. Dan sowed all day and nearly finished the piece. Had a delightful walk back and up the flats with Jean after supper in the twilight.

Friday 29

A wonderful day. Harrowed in the four acre piece all morning then in the afternoon the three of us helped the Hunters build a fence across the river. Fell in, got my feet wet, and scratched my foot on the barb wire. Jean brough me home a letter containing good news about the Tretheway-Ossian mines when she came home from town at noon.

Saturday 30
