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

Sunday January 23rd

I didn't go over to the farm this morning nor to church nor sunday school as I thought may be it would be good for my cold to stay in. Marj. went down and I did up the house chores. George got up about eleven and he and I walked down town. He said he was invited some place for dinner and expected to be at the Henry's for tea so we didn't see him again all day. Marj. and I had dinner at Aunty's. Quint. came in just as we were finished and we all stayed there most of the afternoon. Marj. and I came home about four, built a fire in the grate and had tea and spent the evening reading "Pickwick Papers"
