Shand came to call but no body was home. Dick told Enah that the windmill was here so Dad. went over to Mr. Quanbury's to telephone Rus. Lampkins and he said he would be down tomorrow afternoon to take it off the car. Dick also told her that Louise wanted me to drive up and get her tomorrow. Mr James gave Enah a new rasin seeder tonight that works all right and Frank is busy seeding rasins with it now. Frank got out of school early to-night and doesn't have to go back till after New Year's. Very mild and nice all day but cloudy.

Frank Slocomb came over again and fnished the cistern he made a good job of it. and only charged a dollar. I rode Joe down town first thing and got her shod. While Butler was shoeing her, I went up town and did some Christmas shopping - ahem -. I met Huby on my way dwn with a pickax he had fixed up with a bit whicj=h Bill Oakes gave him and a handle he bought and he Joe {Hawel?} put it in and sharpened it for him. He cam eover and helped Dad. pluck the four turkeys.

This afternoon he, Dad. and Frank went down woth the waggon and got the windmill off the car. Rus. Lampkins was there and said it was alright.I cleane dout the cow sables, shelled corn and read at the same time while they were gone. Huby ground our axe he brought over the other day when they got back, and Frank went back to the gully and caught a muskrat. I intended to go up and get Louise this after noon ut it was such a disagreeable afternoon decide towait till to-morrow and stand a chance of having sleighing but from the looks of itthings now I would have dne better to have gne this afternoon.
