Spent pratically all day getting grain ready for the show. Jean and I got the mail with car and had a little ride up home after the "flail". Had my first experience using it threshing barley after dinner. Mr. Watson came to look at the apples. | Spent pratically all day getting grain ready for the show.

August Saturday 20 1927
Dan and I got in four loads of oats in the morning and made four trips after dinner and finished our harvest for 1927. We had 7 1/2 loads wheat, 1 load of barley, and 33 loads of oats. Had a nice shower of rain about 7.30 so none of us went to town. We are thankful to have all our grain in in such good shape. Had a nice bath and retired early. Mr. Wilson & wife and his sister called on us in afternoon.
Sunday 21
Attended church in the morning home for dinner and then afterwards we all went over to Cousin Jims for afternoon and tea. Dark when we got home. Marge and Bob McCrow & Andy Lushman came down when we were just starting chores and we drove them home later on in the evening in the Dodge with Dan as chauffeur.
