Marj. Dorrie and I went to Sunday school and Dad. & Enah went down church. I walked home but Mr. Lamb drove Mr. Clarke over here after church in his car and the girls came over with him. We didn't do much but lie around this after noon except Marj. Dorrie, Tim & I went down to take a picture of Jack's deer. There was a great crowd down there looking at them. Enah went down town to tea as she had to play to day. Alan Law was in to-night to invite one of us down there to thrash to-morrow, which was rather provoking as Dad. had figured on plowing while I was at the band picnic, however I guess he will have to go to thrash

and then we went to get some {illegible} for sandwichs and to hunt up some body to take us to the band picnic on Monday. We went down to Ben's Summer Garden which was packed and there found Charlie Blake who had no one to take with him to the picnic and on that account had not intended going but he said he would take us, so Dorrie had a dance with him and then we came home rather late.
