our waggon and we got over a ton but by the time we got home it was two o'clock. The roads are awful. and it is a wonder we didn't smash our old waggon jolting over the ruts as it froze last night. enough to hold the waggon up. After we got the load off and had dinner Dad. went down with the buggy to get Enah and Frank and I hooked up to take our grist down but when we brought Belle out of the stable we found she was quite lame, we supposed having hurt her foot on the road this morning. so we put the harness on Queen and took her. We left our grist and didn't wait for the chop and it was time to start in on the chores when we got home. Dad. Enah and Tid got home about the same time. and said Marj. was going to stay at Aunty's all night again to-night. To-night Frank and I went down to the J.F.I.A. Social evening We took Winnie & Dess with us. There were not many there but enough to fill the place up. Not one of the Social committee were present. but we had a pretty good time playing games. Friday December 27th Frank and I went down and got some chop this morning and then took a jag of hay over to the barn for the cows and a little straw over to the horse stable and got in a few shocks of corn. Dad. went over to Quanbury's to see Charlie's horse which died this afternoon and got pretty tired. After dinner I went down town to get some coal oil and drive Marj. home but she decided to stay till to-morrow. Frank skinned old Dick. I spent the evening down at Aunty's. A little colder to-day with a flurry of snow Saturday December 28th Frank and I took a little jag of straw out in the waggon box and covered the strawberries that Dad. didn't get covered with corn stalks and tomato vines. We then went over to Quanburys and got his horsehide. This afternoon I went over to Bill Sidway's to try and in spire a little energy into him for Tuesday night as it is our Agricultural evening and he is on the committee. I met him going down town so went down with him and then came back and beat him shooting with his rifle. Dark when I got home. Fineday. still frozen but mild. Sunday December 29th Frank went down to church and Sunday school this morning but I didn't get up in time to get the chores done so that I could get down. I spent the afternoon and evening down at Aunty's. Marj. is still down there but feels much better. I came home at six to do chores. Mrs. James and {?} were over here this afternoon. Not cold but raw. Still frozen.
