Thursday January 13th

We spent the morning doing chores and husking corn. This after noon Marj. and I went for a skate on the pond. It was fine but we didn't stay long as Marj's feet hurt her. She then went down town and I went over to the farm. Frank went over to Bill Donald's to see Sam Law, and ask him what he thought about having Henry Misener in to thrash our seed as he pulled in to Pickford's to-night and would likely do it but Sam didn't want {illegible} and said he would get around as soon as possible. He didn't like Henry encroaching on his territory anyway and said he had dropped a lot of his own customers to do it. It makes it inconvenient for us though as we can't get our corn in till our seed is thrashed and we stand {illegible} of having a blizzard come and tie things up. However I guess we will have to wait for {illegible}. Marj. was so tired to-night that we left the dishes and went to bed at half past seven. Colder to day but softer to-night.

Frank went over to Pickford's to-day to thrash and was there the best part of the day. Pickfords alsike wasn't paying for thrashing so he quit. He got about a bag of red seed. Sam. pulled in to Art Quanbury's to-day but Art didn't say any thing to us about going over there so we didn't go. Dad. & I spent the day doing chores & husking corn. To-night Marj. and I went down to peddle eggs get some groceries and wish Aunt Ida a happy birthday. She feels pretty tough. Dad. came down and Mr. Johnson was there. My cold felt pretty rotten to-night so Marj. dosed me with hot lemonade & ginger rubbed my nose with mentholatum and soaked my feet in hot water & mustard. It thawed and rained most of the day Colder to-night.
