Tuesday 3rd March 1908
20 above zero this morning. V going to
villiage with two teams. R is going draw school wood.
Ray drives one and V the other. V is going across
to the city to pay his buggy note, had to search
for his mittens; at last found them on the shelf
behind the kitchen stove. Went out turned the horses
loose to water; the horses taking advantage of their
freedom ran away down the road, while V
was chasing his team down the road, Ray hitched
up and drove up the ice, but Voltie at last got
under way. No central again to day so far.
Frank Woodman getting up a dance. I, like
Mrs Soloman Smith, am looking on to watch the
result the ending up of said party. If they
have a dance at Woodmans without whiskey,
it will be a remarkable affair. Sun shining out
clear, nothing remarkable being done. F.W. phoned
to borrow a butcher knife but failed to come fore [sic] it.
Maude experimenting in the cake business jumble
making very good. My cake experiment not so
successful. German cake yeast to old. V and
Ray came about 1/2 past 7 p.m. driving around
by school house where they unloaded the wood
[margin]
V brought a new record for the Phonograph, 2 lamp chimneys,
two lantern globes, etc.
