Wednesday 24 March 1909
A long time ago since I wrote in my diary
some times I think I'll never write again in a
diary but I like to; wish sometimes I had always
kept a diary since childhood. The day is
very mild for March, 40 deg above zero. Cloudy
all day looks like rain; more bare ground than
snow. V filed Dignums cross cut saw. Harold
came for the saw this morning. Ray helping V
work in shop. Sr out doors most all day.
R came over to dinner. Gave her fried cakes,
milk, popcorn, pork (just a few slices). Wallace N is
trapping for muskrat. Maud fried cakes
and stewed raisons. Frank here using our
telephone. Maud got a bad headache
went to lie on the lounge awhile, slept, got up
much better & helped put the supper on table.
Evening V & Ra played checkers, we
retire early. Most forgot to say One year ago this
day Wellie was here, came across early this morning
and staid with us over night. Edy Bates burried
one year ago this day. Dear Edy Bates.
