Thursday January 2nd

After I got the morning chores done up I went down town to send a money order to "The Breeder's Gazette" for a renewal of my subscription and also for some books for the J.F.I.A. for which Frank gave me a cheque . I didn't get back till noon. This afternoon Charlie Quanbury came after Frank to help him take his calves out to {Lish?} Farr. who seems to be making a business of wintering cattle for people on his thrashed {alsike?} I didn't do anything in particular but chores all the afternoon. to night I felt as if I was getting quite a cold so soaked my feet in hot water and went to bed rather early. having spent the fore part of the evening reading "The Prince and the Pauper" which Aunt Ida gave me on Christmas. It has been a beautiful winter day, dull, frozen & not cold.

Friday January 3rd

This being Aunty's birthday we celebrated it over here by having the goose which Frank slew yesterday for dinner and accordingly Aunty, Aunty Alice, Aunt Ida and Marj. all came over to partake of it. Frank and I didn't do anything but chores and visit. Marj. stayed to tea andfor the evening but the rest of them went down before tea. Frank went down to the dance given by the Women's Institute to-night and I walked home with Marj. later. Dad. hasn't felt much better to-day. It has been a very nice day. Freezing hard to-night.

Saturday January 4th

Last night was the coldest we have had yet this winter, the mercury being at zero this morning, but it has been a nice day with quite a strong west wind. Dad Enah and the baby went down town before dinner and stayed down all the afternoon. Frank and I did chores and bagged up what apples were left out in the barn some of which were frozen like bricks. Frank hitched mexico to the cart and we hauled them over to the house in it and put them down cellar. We spent most of the afternoon in the house reading the mail. Chuck Adam was in for a few mintues witha petition to have The Marburg Station moved from where it is up to the Cheese Factory. so Frank and I signed it as we didn't care a cent where it was and thought they must want it changed.

Saturday January 5th
