Tuesday December 4th
I haven't done any thing in particular to-day, just sat around and read and husked a few hickory nuts. Dad. and Frank did chores and this after noon Frank went over to help Charlie Quanbury thrash seed. They didn't get started very early so didn't finish to-night. To-night Frank went down to a Red Cross dance in the town hall Dad. got the storm windows down and put some of them on. Raw.
