while Dad. & Frank cultivated potatoes. Sunday was a very hot day, we all went to church & Dad stayed down and went down to the beach with Dick Marj. & I went for a drive in the evening. Sunday after noon was decoration day and the band went with the oddfellows to the cemetry. It rained a little Sunday night and Monday I went down to do some painting and got a couple of show cards to do for Ben Ivey which I worked at most of the day and sent down with Frank at night. Ben gave Frank a checque for $2.00 for them and to pay an old debt he had with Frank, he gave him at Frank's suggestion $3.00's worth of dance tickets I felt rather sick all day and went to bed early about ten o'clock we had a terriffic thunder storm which was followed by two or three more during the night. The thunder was deafening almost and a great deal of it. It drizzled nearly all Tuesday morning so I went down and with Aunty's help painted a very gaudy sign for Quint advertizing soft drinks. In the after noon I started at Ben's sign which he told me to go ahead at as he guessed Dyer didn't intend to do it. It was late when I got the scaffold fixed so I only got about an hour's work in on it. Frank cut some hay Monday after noon. Tuesday he & Dad. went up to Jack McBride's and got some fence & posts to put across the corner field to let the sheep in where the hay was taken off.
