Friday 31 Jan 1908
Thermometer at zero this morning.
Well Voltie didn't come home last night.
I waited till 11 Oclock though I didn't
think he would come. At noon, thermometer
at 14 deg above zero. Weather bright and
warm for the last day of Jan. I work steady
all day, on my feet from morning till
night and so tired, couldn't finish
getting supper. Sr finished setting table.
My feet swelled so by long standing
and walking that they completely fill
my loose shoes, till they crowd my left
foot till is very painful. V and Maud
come home at night about 7 Oclock
cold and hungry. Tis a great relief
to only look at them and know they
are here, and as supper is ready we
all sit down to a sociable pleasant meal.
Kathleen rode home with the mail.
Ray went to Woodmans with Kathleen &
carried her valise and the little dear
has gone home happy.
