Monday August 1st

Tom came over this morning and said they would start thrashing about 10 o'clock so I counted all the church money right after breakfast and then Frank and I went over with the team. We started as soon as it was dry enough and had a steady run all day till about half past five to-night when a shower came up and we had to quit with 10 or 12 more loads in the field. We found Cecil & Winnie here when we got home and they stayed for the evening. Winnie expects to take a holiday trip to Montreal leaving to morrow. Marj. & Dorrie went back to the woods and picked a nice lot of blackberries. Dad. went down to tell Landon Ivey about the death of his cow. She died Saturday and had a piece of wire next her heart.

Tuesday August 2nd

It rained all the fore noon so we couldn't do anything outside. Dad. took some milk down to Aunty's and Frank and I sharpened the binder knives then Marj. & I finished making out the church quarterly statements and Dorris addressed envelopes for us. I also curried Elgitha while Dad. milked her, she gave her hind teat an awful scraping some way yesterday and is very touchy about having it milked. After dinner I drove Marj. & Dorrie down town. Marj. deposited the church money and then went down to sit with Aunty Alice while Aunty Alice went to a party at Miss Buckwell's. I drove her up there. I drove down again after tea and got the girls who had tea at Aunty's and we went to the picture show
