Pete & Elmer stopped at the Plant & said we'd go to Carroll. Not many there so we came home at intermission.

Here is the long entry for Friday, September 3:

Pete & Elmer stopped at the light plant & said we were going to Carroll to the dance at nite so we did. Had a good time. Not hardly anyone there so we left at Intermission. Home in good time.

My comments: Good to see that Eileen is working at the Light Plant, again, first of the new month. We all kind of wondered about that… she had been silent, it seemed… just assumed. Pete obviously not much involved in farming, except for daily chores.

Forgot to tell Pete I was staying here & he didn't know where to go. Says I never tell him anything. Sat across from Lunds 'till 9:30 & then went riding. Emery's garage burned & Howard Teter ran in the ditch. Really some excitement.

My comments: Wonder if these 'excitements' will make the Enterprise this week in 75 Years Ago column…  ;-)
