Thursday August 18th
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.
Friday August 19th
I drove the girls down to the station this morning and then got Uncle George & Mr. Bagley and took them down to the station. The girls and Uncle George went to Brantford on the nine car to shop in Brantford and to bring Mr. Clarke down at five. I didn't do much all day. Cecil was over glueing up some chairs and he and Dad. & I went out and lined up the fence batten. This after noon Dad. and I went out and rolled the wire we had up to divide the sheep pasture from the oats and pulled the posts. I drove down to-night to bring Marj. & Dorrie home. Mr. Clarke was staying at the Bagley's for to-night. Mr. Bagley was to have met them at the Main St. stop with a car but went off with Mr. Bond and was eating musk melon up at {Mr.?} Dixon's where the car came in so Marj. had to go down town and get a car to go up from the garage to get here. Dad. who nearly fainted sitting up there waiting and scared poor Dorrie, but he feels pretty well to-night
