Monday October 27th

It has been stormy all day and we haven't attempted to do any thing but chores except that Dad. and Frank went out and fixed the fence along the side road where the cattle broke through yesterday and got on Pickford's field. Young {Harn?} from Marburg was in this morning and bought a ram lamb for $22.00. He got him cheap but he drives a tight bargain and we needed the money. The lambs hind legs were a little crooked. Frank and I went down town to-night and I went to band practice but there were no cornets there so we didn't have any. I spent most of the evening down at Aunty's, they tried to teach me to play bridge.

I started to go down town this morning but had such a pain I lay down and slept it off. I went down this after noon and got a pair of rubbers from the man who bought Andrew out. To-night Frank and I went down to a committee meeting of the J.F.I.A. in our Sunday school. Neff & Manning were down we had a fair meeting and arranged for a debate in two weeks

I thought of going to Simcoe this after noon to see a poultry dressing demonstration but it was such a nice day I hated to quit picking so didn't go. Frank went over to Tupper's and picked a couple of bushels for ourselves. Tupper sold them to us for $1.25 a bushel. Dad. has been plowing all day. Zeitha & Molly were over this after noon after mushrooms. Enah went down this morning and took Vernon & the kids to the station as they went back to-day. Aunty Alice went to Brantford with them.
