Monday October 6th

Frank and I went home at half past five this morning and and made our departure so quietly that Aunty came down at six to call us. Sam and Alan Law were in while we were milking to see if we wanted to thrash our seed. They didn't want to thrash up the Gravel on account of Simcoe Fair. Dad. told them to come on down so they came about noon. Frank and I hauled in two loads of coal this morning and hunted up thrashing hands. We hauled a load of chestnut coal which was very poor looking stuff and as we had to take one third pea coal we took next time half a load of pea and half of soft. We thrashed all after noon and got the mow over the granary cleaned out and about four bags of seed. I went down to band practice to-night but there were so few there we didn't have any. Pete Holmes was having a dance in the hall so I went in and watched them for awhile. May Perry and Marj. came up while I was there to look on for awhile so I went home with them. There wasn't much of a crowd there.

Tuesday October 7th

We finished thrashing about ten o'clock and got out about seven bags and a half of seed. I got ready and went to Simcoe Fair on the twelve o'clock car but as it was the second day there wasn't much there. I saw Neff and a Mr. Manning a Y.M.C.A. man and had quite a talk with them. I came back at six with Vernon, Rebecca, Molly, Dick & Alan Tibbits. The Zealand's rowed me across the pond from Ivey's stop. Gypsy had eight puppies last night.
