down to Mr. Robinson's {diocese? meeting. Dad. came over to stay with the kids. They were both in bed when he came and didn't wake up all evening. Marj. and I went down and had a very nice time. It was in the Presbyterian Church, we figured it was the first nocturnal sleigh ride we had ever had to-gether & it is the first time Marj. has been out at night since the Horticultural Show. I cut another small pine to-day

Friday January 16th

It has been thawing all day and snowed most of the day I did up the chores this morning and this after noon drove down to get some cow feed and rooster cheep at Billy Langs I found Billys shop full of customers but no Billy and as Andrew {Name?} said he had been waiting for an hour for him I called up Tip Varey's to ask if they had seen him, they said there was a cemetry board meeting on so that accounted for his absence. Frank came along while I was waiting so I got him to help me bag up what I wanted and I then I drove him up town and home, we called in at Aunty's on our way. They are expecting Ray to-night. He is on his way to or from {a Con?}vention in Atlantic City and will be here till Sunday
