Sunday July 9th

Just as Dad. was getting ready for church this morning Alan Law came after him amd he had to go down there to administer unto a sick calf which died later in the day. I drove Enah and the baby down to church and as the baby didn't want to sit alone in church without some of the family, I had to sit with him in the front seat and hold him on my knee most of the time but he was very good. Enah. stayed down to dinner at Aunty's and Dad. came down after he got home from the Law's. Frank and I had dinner alone. About three o'clock I went down to Aunty's and left Frank asleep on the sofa. Huby was there and he Dad. Walter, Roy and I walked up to his place via the Dominion Hotel and Dave Waddle's in search of Dave but didn't find him, after inspecting Huby's garden and Bill Slocomb's buggy which Dad. thinks has been run considerably, we took a walk down to the Customs House stopping in to see Mr. Smith for a few minutes on our way down. While we were down there Dave Waddle came along with Geo. {Faulmsbe?} and Jack Davis. We went back to the house all of us but Huby. and I stayed there to tea. Dad. went home to do chores. Enah went up to her mother's to tea but left Tid. down at Aunty's and he and Rebecca had a good time chasing the cat. Jean Marks was there to tea and all of us but Aunty, Aunt Ida and the two kids went to church. Enah has played to-day as Elva jammed her finger in the safe door. Roy donned a surplice and sang in the choir at both services to-day. After church I walked home with Jean and was over there for a little while and then came back down to Aunty's to say goodbye to Roy who goes back in the morning. Dad. was there with Joe and I drove home with them soon after. It has been fine with a nice breeze to-day.
