186th day – 180 days follow

80        Fair

Had a fire at Whipples dump last night.

Went up on the hill and did the chores, came back and worked in the garden.

After dinner we all went down to the Armory, I got out and marched with the Co the rest set in the car and watched the parade from there.

We marched with full equipment and we sure sweat plenty.

When we got I saw Millie she was with Toot and May, they were going down on the beach.

Went up on the hill and did the chores, stopped in to see Pic, she and the family went to the parade.

Saw Percy Finney called me in and showed me an anchor and part of the rope that had been burned off and his boat was gone.

The girls and I took a walk up as far as Ed Holmans and rode home with Archie Hathaway, we stayed over there for an hour or so.

Saw Claire Driscoll and took a look at her garden.

Ed Holman is under the weather.
