oak limb. This after noon Frank went to Simcoe to get the shoes I left up there to be fixed and to see Rus Lampkins about the windmill as some thing has gone wrong with it, I don't know just what. Dad. didn't get back to plow as there were so many chores to do and he helped me sort some of the potatoes. Frank came down to the five car and went down town again to-night. Another beautiful day.

Enah and I drove down to church this morning leaving Dad. Frank and the baby to get dinner. Frank I think spent the morning fixing the windmill following the instructions he got from Rus Lampkins yesterday. Aunty & Aunt Ida came over here to dinner I went down town right after dinner and Marj. and I went for a walk. She has a bad cold so didn't go to church at all to-day, she had an awful time with her cold yesterday but feels better to-day. I stayed up there to tea and for the evening. Rus. Skey was over here to tea and Dad. has been giving me very amusing accounts of his future dreams of leaving the bank which he has always detested and finishing his medical course coming to Dover and fixing up the old home putting in the remainder of his life (he figures he would have at least fifteen years for it) in scientific research practising on the Turkey Point decendants, gratis. He was also reviewing with Dad. the pugilistic incidents of their school days dwelling with special pride and joy upon the day he licked Bev. Powell. It has been a beautiful day, very warm & not freezing to-night.
