Sunday 23rd February
Another Sunday has come around,
cloudy looks very much like another
storm. Ray has dressed himself very
nicely and gone over the river to
Arthur's and from there is going to
see his mother and little brothers who live
at the Cape. We saw a cutter coming
across & thought it might be Van and
Lib, it proved to be Beatrice & Scrahm
enroute for Belles. Beatrice called here
a few minutes. Scrahm didnt get
out the buggy cutter. Van and Lib
drove in after them. Ed Bates came,
Arthur drove over for Rachel to stay
with Marjorie while Beatrice
goes home to stay till Tueasday [sic].
Rachel went home for her clothes. Art drove
over with her, she brought over a cake for
our dinner & said I must be sure and
pay it for she surely must have the cake again.
She will get it. Van & Lib went home
early at 5 pm. We didnt expect V
[margin]
and Maud but they came about 7 pm. M had staid
at Wills while V went to Watertown & Wellies. Ray came
just after Lib and Van went home. Ed Bates looks
miserable and poor.
Lib brought me a pickle dish. When Ray came
he brought the books from Lupton
