Monday November 17th

Frank plowed all day in the corner field. Dad. and I put off the load of straw that was on the barn floor and then started to move the stack in. We couldn't put it on the waggon as it was so windy but just shoved it in the door and piled it up on the barn floor. We got quite a little pile in by noon but Tupper was over and wanted one of us to help him thrash. Dad. went so that Frank and I could go down to a tea in the Sunday school to-night. I spent the after noon doing chores and I went down to the mill in the buggy to get some rolled oats and oil cake. 100 of oil cake cost me $4.75. I did the milking very early and Frank and I went down to the Sunday school a little after six but in time to get something to eat. Mr. Manning was there and a good turn out of boys and he addressed them on the organized Sunday School classes. Mr. Manning had to leave at seven o'clock so the meeting closed. I went up to Miss Martin's with Marj. and then went and got shaved and called for Enah at Aunty's about eight and we went up to a party at Ada's. We had a very nice time, there were only a few there, two tables playing bridge and Winnie. Jim Emmet & Miss Perry (Mrs. Freeman's sister) playing Rummy. Lovely day.

Tuesday November 18th

Frank has been over at Tupper's all day thrashing. Charlie Quanbury told me on his way to the farm that there was a telephone call for me so I went over and found it was Mr. Burtch who wanted me to ship the two best rams that were left. Dad. and I spent the rest of the morning building a rcate. We had one crate which Burtch had shipped back to us. We took the rams down to the station right after dinner and left them, then came home around by Aunty's, Harry Battersby rode over the hill with us to Mrs. Battersby's. When we got home we put more of the straw stack in the barn & got most of it in. It was a beautiful morning but turned colder this after noon and snowed quite hard for a short while.

Wednesday November 19th

Frank went over and thrashed at Tupper's all day and said they would have another half day of it but he said he wouldn't go back to-morrow as I want to go with Neff. He was down yesterday morning and said he was going to take the Courtland boys up to Burford & Paris to judge stock to-morrow and invited me to go along. Dad. and I ran out some ditches in the corner field this morning and
