Saturday September 18th
Frank and I went down in the waggon this afternoon fore-noon and got my chicken crates and some oat chop. This after noon I walked over home while Frank did housework. We had a fierce time with the roan heifer of Elgitha's that lost her calf. Full description of event in Dad's diary, which I have kept up-to-date, neglecting this one.
Sunday September 19th
Frank, Draper, and I spent whole forenoon getting the heifer caught and milked. We went down to Aunty's for dinner as we were too late for church. We both came back to the farm early after dinner. Cecil Win and family were all here and stayed for tea. Frank drove Irene out home where they got some nasturtiums. We all went down town to-night. George arrived just as we were starting out. He came up this after noon with Ada and stayed over there for tea. We called in there on our way down and picked up Ada, then all went around home with Cecil & Win and on down to Aunty's. Clear and warm all day.
