Friday 6th February 1914
A very pleasant but becoming cloudy.
Wallace came early and went with
Voltie to Geo Woodmans for an old
barn roof. We hurried around to get
dinner ready when Wall & V
came but Wall wouldn't stay, going
home to get ready for the horse race
ball at the villiage. Rachel came
over to dinner. I paid her for
the doz eggs and gave her mustard,
spirits, turpentine and lamp wicking.
Denny and his brother came
for fish. The brother go in ice
awful wet and cold. Lent
him dry clothes. Poor chap.
Geo McDonald came with another
load of bull heads. Two barrels
and a box full, and drove to
the foot. Den couldnt load them
all in the punt. Ed gone to
school. I sent a letter by her to P.O.
to Belle. I was disapointed when
Emma returned with the mail
to find only Herald & Standard
Farmers Magazine and an invitation
for Voltie to the Engineers Ball
Kingston city hall, no letters,
no cards. But why should I
be disapointed at not receiving
letters from Belle nor John.
Edith in row with Alden Morgan
she is most always in a row with
some one. A grand old snow storm.
