Thursday August 3rd

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. Daddy and I after doing chores hooked up Joe and Ginger and went down after Enah. Had quite a time finding her I looked all through the park as Alln (on his way over the hill) told us she was there, and at las found {Margin note} at Cousin Lolls. Daddy encountered to automobillys and had quite a time with the team. I got some postcards at Billy Gordon's and came right home with them. Dover played bowls with {Kaysville?} to-day and won Score 27-7. They are doing better things

Friday August 4th

Bill got home about five o'clock this a.m. Emery came and brought Cecil with him he is as sharp as a steel trap and just about as mischevious as Leon. I went down town right after breakfast in Enah's wheel to get my hair cut. I went over Brant Hill to take Mr. Smith his cheque and went down and stayed a little while with Joe. I also went down to Huby's but none of them were up. I came back, doffed my good clothes and worked around the stable till noon. We started to make some concrete nest eggs for Huby. This afternoon Bill and I hauled three more loads of brick bats for which they tax us $1.00 a load. Cecil went with us for two loads and Dick one. They got all the cement in the stalls. Emery went home to-night and Bill bid us a last fare well he expects to start for the West on the next Harvest Excursion August 13. {Margin note} The report of the successful candidates trying for entrance into Normal came out to-day with May Clarke (honors) and Edny Sidway. The latter has only been in the third form one year. Mrs. & Miss McPherson were here this p.m. and Miss Phipps is here to-night. Hot all day no sign of rain
