I went to sleep on the sofa soon after tea and some time before midnight was sufficiently aroused byt a clap of thunder to stagger off to bed being aware at the time of a stream of water coming through the kitchen ceiling into a pan that had been put under it early in the evening. About two o'clock my dreams were again broken by hearing Dad. & Enah bailing out the kitchen. Dad. informed me that the storm was terrible and with that comforting knowledge I continued to slumber peacefully till about seven, when I got up donned a bathing suit and went after the cows. There was not as much water in the gully as I expected although it had been high but had run off. Frank got home just as I got out. We did up the chores and Frank and I went down to church Dad. drove us to the sidewalk. Dad and Enah & Tid drove down to Aunty Alice's for dinner, we went down there after church intending to take Joe home but as they didn't get down till just dinner time we stayed and went home after dinner and did up the chores. We were to have been down again at five but by the time we got thing's done it was six when we got down and Dad. Enah & Tim were having tea down there They went home as soon as they had tea and Frank and I had ours then went to church with Aunty & Aunty Alice. After church I went up to see Marj. I didn't know she was
