Friday September 29th

It was too wet for Dad. to furrow out his field this morning so he did a few chores and I went down town with the waggon and got some shingles also the money for my steer from Bagley and Miller. I was down till noon as I had to do a lot of chasing around after the shingles. They had none at the Widespread and Hawey was working way up on St. George St. on Haymaker's new house and I had to go up there and get him. I got eight bunches for $7.50 I want to shingle the old part of the chicken house. This after noon Dad. went back and furrowed out the field and finished it and I cleaned out the ditches in my plots. Art. Quanbury borrowed our hay rack this morning to haul a load of furniture from Simcoe for Jack Martin's new man Cawley. He brought it back to-night. Frank brought us over ten bushels of potatoes from Billy Laing's who has just brought a carload in at $1.25 a bushel. Tonight I drove Enah down to choir practice. We took Miss Mathews down to the top of the hill but there she discovered she had lost her handbag so went back after it I got my hair cut and then went over to the drug store where I found Dick and Joe with Bob. & Johnny I sat there till half past ten and had a lot of fun, got Enah at Aunty's. Very cold and windy all day.
