as comfortable as possible. I went down first thing this morning and shovelled Aunty's snow for them and had breakfast down there. By the time I got home and got dressed up it was too late to go to church but I went right down after dinner and took Aunty's & Elva's cream down. I went around to see Marj. but couldn't find her as she had gone down to Patterson's for dinner and from there over to Mrs. Perry's. I stayed to tea at Aunty's and went up after tea when I found Marj. home. I didn't go to church but I think they had service in the Sunday school.
