Ida. Dick Frank and I went over to Charlie McQueen's chestnut trees to see if they were getting ripe as we had quite a hard frost last night but the burrs were tight and the nuts very green but they were big ones and a lot on the tree. We came up to the house for awhile and then Dick and I went down town. We went up to the L.E.& N. tracks and ran into a bunch of girls. Dick took a couple of pictures of us all and I made a date with Bob & Johnnie to go after chestnuts next Sunday after noon and then went down to Aunty's for tea I think Dick must have had tea with Mildred Henry as he was with her when I left him and didn't show up down at the house. Aunty Alice and I went to church to-night and then Marj. and I went over to see Miss McQueen and we all decided to go after chestnuts a week from next Saturday. I went down to Aunty's for awhile before I came home. Aunt Hattie is staying over here to-night. Lovely fall day but cold wind
Monday October 2nd
I went down town this morning to get a load of slabs but found that there were only a few left at the planing mill
