Monday December 30th Dad. and the baby walked down to Aunty's to dinner to-day and were there most of the after noon. Dad. has felt very miserable to-day and doesn't seem any better to-night. Frank took his horsehide down this morning and whipped it to Hallam. I spent most of the day doing chores. To-night I went down to see how Marj. was. she went up to the Monteith's to-day and says she feels very much better. Cloudy and looked like snow but not cold nor windy. Tuesday December 31st I haven't done any thing but chores all day ex cept husk some of the corn which Frank and I hauled in the other day. Frank spent the morning taking some pickets off thewire which he and Mexico hauled in out of the orchard yester day. This after noon he went out with Charlie Quanbury to help him put on a load of hay. Aunty came over to tea to-night to see how Dad. was and went back with Frank and me. Dad. feels a little better to-day. Frank and I went down to the J.R.I.A. Meeting but owing to the rottenness of the weather and the diversion of a couple of dances one in the hall and one out at {?} Ryerse's there were very few out. I read them my speech which I had prepared and then I went up to Huby's and the rest went to the show. It was next year when I got home. Very mild and misty later turning to a foggy drizzle.
