Tuesday May 3rd

I havent done a great deal of any thing to-day except chores and odd jobs. Dad. has felt pretty tough all day and had to rest up for "Pinafore" to-night. Marj. has felt miserable all day. Frank went down town and got our tickets to "Pinafore" changed from to-night till to-morrow as we figured Marj. wouldn't feel like going to-night. He finished cleaning the brush out of the orchard this after noon and I helped him a little. To-night all but Marj. & me went to the concert and we went for a walk down to the pond and saw Jack's deer, the buck came up and licked Marj's hand. Frank took Irene Pickford down. Tid. went down to Aunty's from school and was to have gone to the show from there but he was sick all the afternoon in school and was too sick to go to-night. They brought him home with them and he has quite a fever. Pinafore went off fine. Ralph was in good shape and Dick Deadeye's horrible looks were very impressive. He won his bet with the Captain which was that he could make him laugh He accomplised the feat by hesitating in his dialogue with Capt. Corcoran to take an imaginary cud out of his mouth walk to the gunwale and toss it over board.

Wednesday May 4th

Frank disked on the field back of the barn all day to-day and says it went pretty well. Dad. disked, not Frank in the morning with Harry & Billy but they got Pommers in at noon and Frank took them. Dad. & Enah still feel pretty miserable with bad colds and are tired out. Tid doesn't seem any better and has pains in various parts of his anatomy. I spent most of the day raking up and cutting the grass back of the house and across the ditch. Marj. helped me this morning a little. I had a bad pain in my eyes all after noon but they were better to night. Frank stayed with Tim. to-night and the rest of us went to the show. They had another full house and it all went off fine. Marj. & Enah drove Mexico down and Dad. & Enah drove home. Marj. & I walked home as they stayed down to a supper which the I.O.D.E. promised for the officers & crew of "Pinafore" Fair & warm.
