June-July 1945

June 1945

 

23  42A. The Baptist Association met in Charlottetown this weekend. Pauline & Co and Ralph & Marie came out for the evening and brought me home. Had ice-cream.

 

24  S. A perfect morning and not so cold. Washed this morning and most of ironing is finished up.

 

25  Mr Smith up. Anita and Mr Allen have gone over to Cemetery to cut grass on Aunt Mauds grave. Earl is slipping up on his job. Looks like rain to-night.

 

26  A miserable damp cold day. Dad & Anita and some of the men working at the linoleum in the Club House. Its been quite a struggle. The Bakers came 25th.

 

27  Finished the linoleum and liner[?] to-day. Very few moving around. Enids operation was Monday the 25th. No news. George McCoubrey has cut our Cottage in two and built another one. All trains being used to get our soldiers and Airmen home so travelling from Toronto to PEI is almost out of the question.
