Thursday August 10th

Worked around the stable all day with Emery. We got all the side boards up. Daddy worked around there too most of the time but Wyatt Parsons came to measure the grain fields. He measured it with a tape line so it took a long time and Daddy had to help him. Cousin Clare came over this morning and stayed all day. About four o'clock Daddy and Dick went over and shocked up the rest of the oats. We all went down to-night to hear the band. Dick rode his wheel and I walked, Daddy and Enah drove Cousin Clare down with Joe. I went over to the park to watch the dance for a while got some postcards talked with Roy Dellawhile and then went dwn to Mrs. Davie Moore's corner and met Daddy and Enah and drove home about half past nine. Hot To-day {Margin note} Daddy and Enah saw old Bill down town he is says he is going to start West tomorrowstay with Jack Pane in Toronto to-morrow. and start Saturday.
