train came in but there were no boys so we had our tea, Lila had come over to be here to see what old "Sunny Jim" would do when he first saw them but she was fooled too. This morning I wanted to get started for town early but I was just putting the bridle on Belle when Whit Dixon came to see if he could buy Erie and Artful, I asked him $130.00 but he beat me down $5.00, he talked for so long "understand" that it was 10 O'Clock before Lila and I got started, and it was after 11 when Hubert and I got back with the plank for the barn floor. We did not get it quite done before dinner and Alan Law got here with the separator before we were ready for him, but we soon had the floor fixed and he then put the machine in the barn and put his team on our roller and took it home with him. Hubert and I then went at the yard manure again and have the place for the stack cleared. It has been a lovely day though quite a cool East Wind, we are expecting the boys any minute now, 8 O'Clock.

Sunday September 13th

Well we all got back at last safley last night after a very enjoyable week of it. We went over to Niagara Falls on Thursday, which took a day out of our plans. It was the first time Frank and I had ever seen the Falls but Quint had been there before. We thought they were great. It was also the first time we had ever been in the U.S. We weren't so favorably impressed with it. We came over from Toronto by boat to Lewiston and from there to Niagara Falls by the Gorge Route so weren't on the Canadian Side at all. We were at the Exhibition three times, two theatres, and out at {.....}besides down town and on several visits so we spent very little time sitting around. Rebecca proved to be a very entertaining person, and very good most of the time.

Frank went down to church and Sunday school. thismonring, and Harry Harding came over back with him to dinner. I went for a walk back to the gully and around the farm and found it all still there. This afternoon Dad. hooked up Joe and Ginger to the buggy and took Harry Harding for a long drive Uncle Ward came over and stayed all the afternoon The Barwell family were in fr about a minute. Dick slept all morning and went down to take some pictures with my camera this after noon. It was late when wwe got thorugh to-night It has been. alovely day, sunny but not hot.
