The girls went down with Mexico first thing this morning and brought their Uncle George over and he was here for dinner and tea. Cecil came over and finished putting the stripping on the walls Dad. helping him. I started a show card this morning and worked at it off and on all day, but talked to Uncle George most of the fore noon. To-night Marj. Dorrie & Uncle George drove Joe down and I walked. Uncle George treated us all to the picture show which was very funny. We then took him up to the Bagley's where he spent the night.
