Joe this morning and Dad. Enah and Mr. Clarke drove Mexico to church at least Dad. rode as far as the corner and then walked down. It rained last night and the road was muddy. Cecil & Winnie were over for awhile this after noon and then they went with Marj. Mr. Clarke and I down to see the deer and we took a walk around Jack's place and peeked in the windows of the house to see the renovations. It looks very stylish with the hard wood floors and mahogany wood work, the dining room is all panelled in dark wood. We then wandered around the chicken yards awhile. Just as we got back Mr. Barwell drove the Tibbits in all but Dick & Molly. Little Tinker had a great time with Tid. riding on Mexico. Bill Barwell came over after tea to take Enah to church and brought her home after. Mrs. Andrew's has quit the organ so Enah had to play.

Monday September 12th

Mr. Clarke left for home to-day He intends making the trip in easy stages and get there the end of the week. Dad and I thrashed all day at Jack Martin's and finished up there a little after six o'clock. We were stopped quite often as the barley stack was very wet, but Sam got mad at Charlie who was feeding and gave him a calling down eventually and then Charlie was more careful but very peeved and never helped Sam move to night. Arthur Pickford and I carried away and had a very easy time all morning, but had to work a little harder this after noon when the burrs began to fill up. I got some hickory nuts this morning and we spent most of our time eating them and drawing pictures in the granary. Dad. came home at noon and did up the chores and we both came home before supper to-night as we wanted to get the milking done before Sam. moved over here. He came in just as we were finishing and by the time he got in the barn and left, it was about half past eight and we had to have our tea after that. Marj. went down town this after noon, stayed at Aunty's for tea and went to a girl's meeting to-night. I went down to come home with her. I intended to go to band practice to see what they decided about practising from now on, but it was so late when I got down that I didn't go, but heard since that we are going to take a rest for a week or so.
