Very warm with swift flying clouds
gathering from S.W. V and his father
working on R's place binding and
setting up oats. Bob went trawling
gone nearly all day, came only in pm
for his supper, brought a pike and
some smaller fish ate dinner
with George and Louise. He says
"Louise is a fine cook". "She makes the
most beautiful buns, the most delicious
cookies, fried cakes, chocolate cakes
and can fry fish to perfection". "Yes
Sir I tell you Louise is a good cook".
Maud bakes bread, ginger cookies, 3
frosted cakes in evening and work all
done. V goes up to Woodmans for Quinine
capsles. Wells dont feel very well he
dont take much rest from work, setting
up grain, hoeing, pulling weeds, building fence,
chopping wood and kindling. Grace washed
the lines full of clothes for her family, getting
ready to go home tomorrow. Raining but not
pouring down as usual.
Burnside drove in here and bought the brown
bull and mudy heifer from Voltie $50.00
