Sunday October 10th

We didn't get up till after seven this morning but Frank Enah and I managed to get down to church. This afternoon I sat around the house for awhile and then Dad. drove down to see Huby so I went down with him as far as Aunty's and stopped in there. Roy & Vernon had gone up to Huby's so Aunty Alice & I walked over Brant Hill to see the Millman's. Orm's foot wasn't paining so much but looked very bad and he couldn't bear it to the ground. Quint had borrowed a pair of crutches for him from Mrs. Lawson. About five they all went down town to say goodbye to the Ansley's & Tibbet's so I rode down as far as Aunty's with them and then home with Dad. to do chores. They all but Mrs. Millman came over in the car a little later and Mr. Millman, Mr. Brown, Quint, Frank & Nita all went back to the woods to shoot crows. When I got dressed Kathleen and I walked back over to the cottage stopping in for a minute at Aunty's and the rest all came over in the car soon after. We were all over there to tea and all evening. Nita brought us home about ten o'clock. They all intend to go back in the morning so we bid them good-bye. Sunny but cold wind all day. I didn't see anything much of Roy or Vernon to-day as they went over to the Woodson's to tea.

Monday October 11th

We have been hauling out manure all day but only got out about {19?} loads as we didn't get started till late and quit early. Roy, Vernon, Rebecca & Aunty were all over to dinner and Aunty asked Dad. Enah and Tid down there to tea so Enah and the baby went down with them and called on Mrs. Battersby on their way down. Dad. did chores and then walked down. Frank and I had our tea alone and then drove down leaving Joe down at the house for Dad and Enah to drive home and we went to the picture show as they had Charlie Chaplin on to-night. I went around and got Marj. It was laughable but absolutely nonsensical. It was eleven o'clock when we got out and we went around to see how Mr. Smith was as he had an attack of colic or something to-night, he was still pretty sick and they were sitting up with him so Essie went over to stay all night with Nellie. I stopped in for a few minutes on my way home to say goodbye to Roy & Vernon they are going back in the morning. It was after twelve when I got to bed. I guess they had a great reunion out at Shand's schoolhouse to-day of all the scholars that went to school out there to Mrs. Dolly Smith who taught there for seventeen years. Mrs McBride has been talking about it for weeks, she's one of them It has been a lovely fall day sunny and mild.
