the cellar to get enough. I put the tops on them after dinner and labeled them ready to ship. I had intended going over home to get the waggon and take them down but as it was late and was beginning to snow and I have got a cold Marj. wouldn't let me go.

Wednesday December 9th

I drove over home this morning and nearly froze. The wind was very cold and the roads very rough. Frank was home alone as Dad. & Enah had gone down town. I thought when I got over there that the roads & weather were too bad to take the apples down but Frank said he would come over with the waggon the first decent day. I went on down to Aunty's to tell them that I would not be down to the Band boys' shine to-night as my cold was too bad. Aunty Alice made me two pies to take to it so gave me one. I got home a little after noon I didn't do much but sit around this afternoon. Ina was here but walked home before supper. Very cold and bleak. Intervals of sunshine followed by snow flurries.

Thursday December 10th

I didn't do any thing much but chores to-day as I felt tough with a cold. My chest is sore with coughing I went down to the corner this after noon and got the cream can as I forgot it yesterday when I drove by. I stopped in at the Lampkin's for a few minutes on my way. The roads are frozen hard and the Gurney's were hauling gravel. Harry B was in bed with a cold on Monday & Tuesday but seems better now but the rest of us are getting it. Cold west wind and cloudy

Friday December 11th

Frank walked over this morning to see how we were and I was mighty glad he did as after I had done a few of the chores I felt about all in my chest was so sore. Frank got some wood for us and did up some of the chores and then about eleven o clock he and Marj. drove down town while I minded the kids They got back about three, and Frank did up the night chores before he went home so I didn't go out at all. Marj. went to the doctor's and got a lot of dope for each of us including the baby. They brought a cabelgram from Mr. Parks, that came last night, saying he expected a decision about Wednesday next. The longer it goes the more uncertain it seems. Fine day, not so cold.

Saturday December 12th

Frank came over twice to-day and did all the chores and got us a good supply of wood. I am burning
