to be overhauled and as he was too late for the five car walked home with his purchases getting here about half past six. He got a dandy officers greatcoat very little worn for $3.50 two or three pairs of riding breeches & slacks for $1.00 a pair, two tunics one of them a red Mounted Police one for $1.00 a piece two pairs of putties for 26 cts and a couple of caps thrown in for souvenirs. He says they have heaps of them up there but he didn't have time to pick over any more. The ones he got though are good all a little worn. I cleaned out the chicken pen this after noon where the roosters were as I may want it for little chickens soon.
Sunday March 2nd
Frank and I went to Sunday school this morning and I actually got there in good time. Enah drove down to church with Tid. and after church Marj. came home with them and the Mexico-cart outfit. Roy was in church and I walked home with him as he came over here to dinner. We sat around and visited all the after noon and Roy went down town before tea. Marj. stayed here to tea and didn't go to church to-night. Dad. went down this evening to see how Aunt Ida was as she has been pretty sick. I drove Marj. home a little late and then called for Dad. and drove him home. It has been a beautiful spring day.
