we left and as Charlie seemed in a purchasing mood and was very anxious to buy some thing Dad. sold him Dave and the pair of geese for $35.00. I didn't go back to the farm this after noon but lay around and slept. Marj. went over and told them I wouldn't be over. George Zealand called up about five o'clock and said he was going to be in town for a week and wanted to fix up the bedroom down stairs, so we said all right and he was over here for tea. The Tuxis boys came to-night and had a good time. Marj. went down town and back while they were here. Still mild & cloudy
