Sunday 2nd August 1908
A fine day. V and Bob went
trawling for pike this morning before breakfast,
caught one pike, and lost the trawling spool
and didn't know it till they had trawled
as far as Hiram's. Terrol came over bringing
McClure's and St Nicholas. Jim Smith
and a fellow named Busbee came over.
They all adjourned to the Shop except
Terrol who staid in the house to talk
to the women. Smith and Busbee went home.
Terrol staid to dinner. After dinner Grace &
Maud entertained Terrol in the kitchen.
Cassie and Clifford came for lemons for
their grandpa. Cassie went home to carry the
lemons. Clifford staid to play with the children.
Wells Sr stays in barn all day except
meal time; to much noise for him.
Clifford and Samy came again with the
express wagon for another gal of cider, 20 cts.
Then they came back visiting Cassie, Clifford
and Ethel. Voltie and Bob went across the
river came back towards night bringing green corn,
onions, summer squash, apples & cucumbers.
Terrol says he is coming back tomorrow evening.
Wish and hope he will stay home the half witted nuisance.
