Sunday 1st day of February 1903
A very good day for skating but not
very clear. Maud, (after work if done up) skates with
Inez nearly all fore noon. Voltie reading Herald
while we were at morning dishes. Voltie and Johny Wilson
run the pike net and got only one fish, a
pike which I clean and cook for dinner.
While we were eating dinner a cutter came to the
door which proved to be Henry Halliday and Beatrice.
They had been to dinner. Beatrice had a dish of
pudding & a cup of tea with us. She came for instruction
in embroidery. Voltie and Henry drove across the
ice to Maloney's while Maud and Beatrice go
skating. Beatrice a Noviciate in the art of skating.
Inez and Maurice Maloney on skates too.
Henry and Voltie came back accompanied by Dick M
Frank and Dave Reid and Johny Wilson helped
Voltie set the fish net. We sat up and read
but no visitors. I see Sr had commenced
to keep diary.
