Sunday 6 April 1902
We dont arise very early this morning
and I dont feel much like work
but weary and troubled with a kidney
trouble pretty bad, but dont tell any
one. but I work around all day. I
am obliged too. I make pie and
cake for Voltie and he has two
loves [sic] of bread. V varnished his
skiff and put her in the water
going to row to Hickory to night.
The weather looks like a bad storm
dark clouds all around the horizon.
V starts just at sunset & after we
have had our supper Tom going with him to
the river to help him put the skiff in the water.
Len came down just stuck his head in and
went too. Tom came dodging back for his
coat and away he runs again to the river where
Len is waiting for him and they go down to
Reanons' Geo and stay till 11 pm. Forgot to
say Maud goes to church wears her new
dress.
