Cam. said he didn't know at all what his father intended to do and didn't like to ask him as he felt so upset. Dad. went down to see them at Aunty's to-night and I worked all evening at my show card course. It has not been so cold to-day and is stormy to-night. |

Saturday December 27th
Frank and I drove down in the waggon this morning and got some nails & lumber to make sheep crates and feeding racks and we spent most of the after noon making a couple of crates to ship McEwen's yearlings in. I worked all the evening at my show card course and got the first lesson fairly well done. It has been much milder to-day.
Sunday December 28th
Frank Tid. and I went down to Sunday school and Enah walked down to church. Aunty came over with us to dinner. Dad. had to draw up water for the cattle this after-noon as there wasn't wind enough to pump. Frank went skating this after noon and he and Alex England went off for a drive to-night. I spent the evening reading "An Irish Cousin", which Roy & Vernon sent me. Fine and cold.
