Saturday December 11th

We cleaned up all the wheat left over in the barn this morning which was about 13 1/2 bags. Dad. hauled it down before dinner and I think it brought the total up to a little over 199 bushels, he didn't settle with Ivey this morning as they were so busy. This after noon I went down town to get some groceries. Art Quanbury paid me 21 dollars for the three ewe lambs. Frank went back to the gully and found a hole with three skunks in it but didn't get one - it got him properly - phew! He has gone down town to-night. They are going to present Cecil Powell with a watch but I am reading "The Amateur Gentleman" so can't go down. It has been cold again to day but it has also been sunny.

Sunday December 12th

Frank and I were the only ones that went to church from here this morning. I drove down and brought Aunty and Elva back with me. Jim Waddle & the two little girls also were here to dinner, Dad wanted to have them as we had roast duck. Dick and I didn't get down town very early this after noon as we both each smoked a cigar first, and Marj. had gone for an automobile ride to Waterford. I stayed down to tea at Aunty's and Mrs Smythe and Pud. were there I went to church and Marj. & I went up to Glad. Law's for awhile afterwards. Nice day snow to-night.
