Hot
Gilbert worked this morning and spent the afternoon down town where he happened to run into lots of people he knows. Dale and Harry Doyle spent most of the day upstairs reading and playing games. I hardly knew they were in the house. Harry is a nice boy and I shall feel as if it were a good turn if we could get him interested in books. After supper he and Carroll Walls and our three all were here reading. Little Mary Welles is here quite a lot playing with Dick today usually its Albert and Ned.
(Sounds like the boys slowed down a bit mid-summer and are enjoying reading. It might have been too hot to do much else, other than sit and read.)

They were all readers. Also I remember them sitting on the front porch playing chess. It would take them hours to get thru a game as a lot of thinking needed to be done about 'the next move'. They were always very competetive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a suitable entry for this Harry Potter book week, Carol -
ReplyDeletethe census shows that Harry Doyle had older sisters Margaret and Mary... maybe they were married and gone by the time Marjorie and Eleanor were children.
