Voltie set the alarm and it rang at 10 minutes
to 4 a.m. V and get up, get breakfast and tie every
chicken's neck. So I send 20 fowl and 14 lbs
butter to market. Rachel not very well got
a stiff neck. I did not sleep much last night.
Wind changed from North to South and blows. Sr
has hard work to get water from the river. The
wind increasing, 3 pm. Whew! how the wind blows
from South and V in Kingston and also Maud.
We are looking for both home to night, will
they come? Rachel moped all the floors, stewed
currants and made currant pies and baked bread.
The river with white caps and dashing spray is a
sight to behold. Bakes beans, bread, made pies.
Rachel's neck better. Sat up till 9.30 pm when
V came alone still leaving Maud in Kingston.
When he came in I ask, where is your companion?
He answered "I left her at Glo Ranous' and
a little further explanation showed that he had brought
the teacher for the lower school, Miss Humeford
from Hamilton to teach the lower school, so drove past
here, stopping at A Joslin's no they wont board, leachery
then drove to Will Gillespies. No they wont board Leacher
