When we got home we found Dad had the meat roasted as he had been pestered all morning with visitors. Val Leany came over and got old Dandy and took him home. Dick, Frank and I went out to the hickory nut tree and Dick climbed it and shook all the nuts he could off and Frank and I gathered up two basketfulls of shells and all. Frank spent the after noon picking up the rest and got a bag full of husks and all and a peach basket full of husked nuts. Marj. and I went for a drive down the Lake Shore and I came home at half past five and helped Frank do chores as Dad & Enah & the baby stayed down to tea at Aunty's they went down to see Aunt Ida When Frank and I had our tea we drove Joe down and left her for Dad. to drive home.
