Thanksgiving Sunday. I was late as I went out and took the moulds of the post first. Roy and Vrnn came up yesterday and so they and all the Aunty household were here to dinner. I left right after dinner and Dick and I drove down town. Bob & Johnnie wwere waiting for me at the drugstore and we hiked straight through for Vittoria or the road south after chestnuts. The first ree we struck had no nuts and the burrs weren't open but we at last got one on Smyth's place that was loaded with wide open burrs and w estayed there till we got told to move on by the family (I suppose) who were just getting home. We moved across the road to the tree back of barn whch was just as well loaded. We stayed there till it was tme to start for home and as we stopped at the Vittoria mill to get a drink and take some pictures it was late when we got home with a pumpkin and Johnnie's hat full of shelled chestnuts as spoils of war. I went down to Aunty's to see Quint as he is going in the morning at seven o'clock and I onlum sa whim for about a munute the ohter night but he hadn't got back from Vittoria where he has soent most of this furlugh at the Dunkin's, in away I'm just as glad I didn't see him when it was his own fault if this is his last leave. It has been hot to-day.
