Saturday October 28th

It froze the hardest yet last night ice 1/4 inch thick, but was a beautiful day. We had planned to do all kinds of things to-day but Mr. Flemming came over this morning and gave Dad a bid to his thrashing this afternoon. We spent most of the morning in getting in the rest of the corn, and finished. We have about 900 bushels. Frank helped us. Dick was down town after some stuff. This afternoon Dad of course put in at the Flemmings and Dick went down and got the mail and then helped Frank get hickory nuts. Enah went down town this after noon. I went over right after dinner to Bill Donald's to see what about the buckwheat as Sam Law said he could thrash it on Monday but Bill was in Beautford and will not be back until Monday anyway. I did not do any thing else much but the chores. Dad got home about six. He and Dick have gone down to night to meet Roy and they have not got back yet as the train is just in (9 o'clock).

Sunday October 29th

Did not get up till late this morning and did not go down to Sunday School, but Dick and Frank went down. They were going to have church in the town hall again but, George Steel did not light the furnace and the door was locked into the cellar so they got frozen out and had to adjourn to the Sunday School where it was just as hot as the other was cold. I stayed at Huby's for dinner with Dick and Frank and Aunty and Roy went over home. We fooled around with the football for awhle after dinner and then Warren Shay came down and Dick, Frank and I went for a walk with him dkwn the lake shore. When we got back Frank and I went over to Mr. Tay;or's where we found Mr. & Mrs. Willie Taylor. When we were coming hme we met Daddy and Aunty who had been at the cemetery and Aunt was just coming homeback to Huby's. I went home with Daddy and helped him do the chores and walked down to church again after tea with Roy. After tea church I went down to Huby's where n=most of the Mrs. J. Shay's family were assembled. She has been up preaching today. She, Warren & Jim were arranging for a hunt to-morrow.
