Saturday August 14th

Dad. has plowed all day in the back field and has got past the niche in the fence so is on the short rounds. I didn't do much all day but cut a few thistles in the orchard and mow part of the lawn this after noon. Frank did a few odd jobs among which was patching the rooves of the old barn and horse stable. Tid. & Enah went down town. The Millman's arrived about eight o'clock having run into some bad roads. Mr. & Mrs. Millman Kathleen & {Tow?}. After they had tea, they all went down in the car and Enah & Frank went with them. I changed my clothes and walked down later and met the girls over at Pete Holmes' casino. We had a few dances but had more fun watching the antics of the others. The girls are staying at Percy's so Frank and I went around there with them and sat on the beach till about one o'clock. Mr. & Mrs. Millman are staying over here. Very hot. We thought we were going to get a real thunder storm to-day but didn't.

Sunday August 15th

Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school and church and after church we found Dad. & Mr. Millman down at Aunty's with the car to take the whole family over here to dinner I walked as far as the bridge on my way home and then Charlie Shand picked me up and brought me all the way home. We had a great old dinner party. After dinner Roy, Rebecca and I went out and gathered some mushrooms which Roy said were good but which I always thought were toadstools. We sat around on the lawn trying without much success to be cool and about four o'clock Mr. Millman drove all but Dad. Tid & me down town. Frank had left before on his wheel to go down the Lake shore with the Ward's, he got back about dark. Mr. & Mrs. Millman & Enah came back for tea and we all spent the evening here. Very hot.

Monday August 16th

We were up early this morning and Mr. Millman went down about six o'clock to go over to Turkey Point with Roy & Percy to fish. He was gone all day and got about four or five bass and a pike or so. It rained again quite a little shower and was cloudy all morning so we couldn't do any thing with the crops. Dad. ploughed all day and Frank cleaned out the shop. I dug up some paeony roots over at Ivey's this morning and packed a box of them to send to Daerie. This after noon some Mr. Brooks from Brantford was down to look at the sheep, he may buy a few later on. Enah & Mrs. Millman went down town this after noon. Kathleen & Tow were over for a little while this morning and I drove them down town in the midst of a heavy shower. I went down to band practice to-night but there were very few out.
