Wednesday 11 Februry 1903
A cloudy morning looks like a storm froze a
little last night. Voltie loaded on his log this
morning and gone to Garden Island to get the
log sawed towards building the new ice house.
Carried Grace a bag of apples that has stood in
the kitchen nearly two weeks suppose they are all
nearly rotten; hope not. Maud working.
Looked out and saw Charley, Belle and two young
children coming, came in time for dinner. Glad
to see Belle; but "Henry the Kid" is a terror
bawl, scream and yell all the time; wants every
thing. Soon as Belle took his duds off & walked
into the pantry pulled the cover off the bread can
and began dragging it around, grabbed a handful of
flour out of the flour can and went at the
seperator. Voltie came after dark. A party
at Alice Micheas. Voltie and Maud didn't go
