Monday October 30th

This being Thanksgiving Day Roy did not have to catch the train as he usually does on Monday morning but stayed in bed till dinner time then went down town and came back with Aunty about four o'clock to say good-bye. Vyse came over this morning and he and Dad put the rack on the wagon and hauled in the buck wheat.I did not help in the field only for one load when Vyse went home for dinner but after the first load helped in the mow and did chores and fooled around in the meantime. Bill Donald came in about five and Vyse went home and he took his place. They worked till quite a while after dark but got it all in. I milked and had an awful time with the calf as she got loose and pulled me all around at last I tied her up to tjhe dence but she ruipped a board off that and then went in. Frank went down to a {illegible} in the Sunday School and I wetn down with him and stayed at Huby's with Aunty and Quint till he and came home about eleven.Dick went down this after noon. They had a shooting match to-day and Frank caught a wounded pigeon that sought refuge over here. {Margin note} Beautiful day this fore noon but away to-night.
