Sunday September 25th
It rained quite hard this morning for a short time so Marj. Tid. and I drove down to Sunday school in the buggy. Enah & Dad. drove Mexico down to church and Dad. drove Aunty up to church. Marj. and I didnt go to church but took Mexico home. We drove up to the Laws as Marj. wanted to see Essie and we went down to Auntys for awhile Aunty Alice was there getting dinner ready as Dad. Enah and Tid stayed there for dinner. I got all I could stand of riding in the cart with Mexico when we got across the bridge so I got out and walked home. Marj. and I had dinner by ourselves and just got through with it when Huby & Lila came over Huby was hungry after the walk so he had something to eat. After I got the bulls & calves watered we all went back to the gully to look for mushrooms and see the cattle & colts. We didnt find any mushrooms that were any good as someone had been there before us. Huby was greatly taken wih the colts. He & Lila just left before Dad. & Tid. got home and they of course
were very disappointed to have missed him Tid especially. Enah didn't come home to tea but stayed at her mother's and played to night in church. The Barwells brought her home afterwards Marj and I worked at the church books to night. We have to get the statements out this week so wanted to get every thing ready. Huby said he and Lila wemt to church thisd morning and Lila is very strict with him asnd gets amd as he doesn't behave hoimself but she started rthe talking this morning. They sang "For those in peril on the sea", and Lila asked Huby for whose benefit it was. Huby said "I don't know. The Harding girls were having a little sale yesterday. I guess it on that account." The Hardings did have a sale at which Enah bought half a dozen nice dining room chairs for 10 cts a piece. The Hardings have sold the place to Chart Wooley who is going to establish a dairy plant there and they are goinf put west to keep house for Harry. The cause of the hymn this morning was the Hobbs' departure for England yesterday. Fine, cool wind
