Sunday August 20th

Daddy drove me down to Sunday School this morning as he wanted to see if he could take Aunty Maude and Lila back to dinner with him and have Huby and Quint walk out but they could not come. I pumped as usual and Quint went up behind the organ with me. I walked home to dinner where was assembled all of Emery's family in addition to the others all trying to squeeze up to the kitchen table.

After dinner Emery discovered an oil hole in the old wind mill head which when Dad oiled up the old thing went like a charm. Daddy was bringing Ginger out to water and she jumped away from him into the old {mangle?} {head?} and {couped?} herself quite badly besides wrenching off a shoe. Daddy Emery Cecil Tige and the grey kitten and I all went back to the gulch to hunt for the spring Blakey was tilling as about {illegible?} could not find it. Then we went up to the mound where there {Margin note} was a ground fox's hole and Emery while digging around found an old double spring trap attatched to a {illegible} with a ring in it. He said he had often thought of digging out the mound when he was a boy as he thought there were treasures there. I went up a little way with Cecil and him and then came home and took the cows up with me. Mrs. McPherson was just starting off with the bunch and two valises. Mr. & Mrs H. Shand where here for awhile before tea. I rode Edna's wheel down to post a couple of letters to-night.
