Got a little wood cut right after breakfast and then went out and laid brick bats around in the stable. We were all working out there this morning (even Dick who came out about 9 o'clock), just at odd jobs around. About three or four o'clock we started to lay the cement for the floor. Dick went down town and got some tacks, candy stuff for tea "Farmer Advocate", and some the Cement books Huby sent for. I read them from then till tea time. Enah went down to Mrs. Hobbs to a tea party so Dick got tea and did fine. After tea he rode down and Bill went down with Emery to hear the band.
