Sunday April 3rd
Marj. Frank, Tid. & I went down to Sunday school this morning and Enah went down to church. Marj. & I stayed at Aunty's for dinner. Winnie, Lila. & Cecil Yeuriks were there. Quint & Huby had gone to Turkey Point with Dad. Hamaker. This after noon Marj. & I went up to the Bagley's as Marj. wanted to tell Mr. Bagley to make her book case of cherry. Cecil told us that it could be polished up so well and to look like walnut and was not much dearer than pine. Mr. Bagley wasn't home so she gave Essie the instructions. We went down to Aunty's again for a minute or two and then over to the farm calling at Aunt Lucy's for Aunty Alice who had gone on ahead and who came over to the farm with us for tea. We found Mr. James here when we arrived. Marj. & I went back to the woods for about fifteen minutes before Dad. & I did chores. Frank was visiting out at Bill Donald's or some place so wasn't home for tea. Dad. Enah & Tid. drove Aunty Alice home with Mexico after tea. Very mild all day but a cool breeze.
