Did a little work on fence until Mr Pifler came over and four of us went down after posts to mosquito alley. Busy morning. Had dinner along with other 8 men at Bee. Did all kinds of jobs when we set up fence around the barn yard in afternoon. Had a nice ride in Dad's car when I drove Jean up after mail around five. Maybe I wasn't glad she was there too. We sure had a heart to heart talk in bed at night.
