Sunday May 13th

Frank and I didn't get ready int time to get to Sunday school this morning but we went down to church. Frank had to see Ben Ivey and as he was working over here we went around this way. Aunty came over with us for dinner. This after noon Dad. Dick and the baby went down to the gully. Frank went down to the Ryerse's and Enah, Aunty and I started down to look through the {Dicky?} Stevens orchard but we met Jim Waddle on the way out to the farm so Enah went back with him but Aunty and I went on and went all over the place. Jim Waddle and the girls were still here when we got back and when Aunty and I left for town. I went down with Aunty for tea and went to church with Aunty and Aunty Alice. Much warmer but breezy.
