Sunday February 20th
Frank went down to Sunday school and Enah and I went to church. Dad. drove Enah down but I walked. The soldiers were all in our church this morning and behaved themselves very well right from Bunyan & Hammy down to Bill George. Hammond went to sleep during the sermon but didn't cause any disturbance and woke up in time to lead the boys out. Aunty came over here to dinner with Enah and Frank but I had dinner at Aunty Alices I spent the after noon at the Bagley's and also the evening. Nellie & Bill were there to tea so I stayed too. Marj. & I went to church and the rest all went to Methodist church but we all met again afterwards and had some music. Mr. Bagley went to the recruiting meeting in the town hall. They say Kelly (Redmond Kinsular) has enlisted with the Haldimand batt. and old Rickford went down to Toronto to enlist but couldnt qualify I went in to see Aunty for a few minutes on my way home, it has been very mild all day but is colder to-night.
