Sunday December 28th

We were very late getting up again this morning so none of us but Frank went down to church, he went down to Sunday school and church Dad. and I did chores and read all morning. We let Belle out for a run, which she enjoyed very much and no doubt benefitted by although we did notice that the swelling in her led was reduced much but she didn't show any sign of lameness. This afternoon about half past two I drove Louise up to the Bowlby's again. The roads were good, smooth and hard with no snow to bother so I was home before dark. Jonas climbed in the buggy with me as I passed his place and came up for a visit, to get rid of trouble he said although he didn't seem in a very down cast mood. He has another farm in view now which is owned by to old maids who live on the place, and if he gets it he is to move the first of March and live in half the double house.

Dad. and Enah and Tiddums expected to go down to Mrs. Battersby's this afternoon but Tiddums went to sleep and blocked the games. I drew to-night, Dick has been skating on the creek this afternoon, he says the ice is pretty good and for the most part strong. He went to church to-night. Frank I think spent his time back in the gully. Lovely day, no wind and fairly sunny.
