Tuesday January 5th

I went down to Sid's this morning and had Queen shod. She was badly in need of it and I thought that when it froze up after this thaw I wouldn't be able to get out with her if she wasn't sharp. I didn't get down there till nearly ten o'clock and Sid had 12 shoes to put on so I was going to come home again, but Harvey Shand & Jack Richardson who had the horses there said that they were not in a hurry and if I wanted to get back before noon would wait so Queen got shod first and I got home before dinner. Marj. had to go to the doctors again so as Ina was here we left Gay & the baby with her and took Harry B. with us. We sneaked off while Gay was asleep so there was no trouble from that quarter. I drove Ina home when we got back. It has been mild all day but very windy & colder to-night.

Wednesday January 6th

I spent most of the day finishing and hanging the storm door for the porch and helping Marj. around the house. I had to put the glass in the door and I made an "amateurish" as Mr. Bagley would say looking job of it, however it breaks the draught from the kitchen door and that is the main thing. Froze hard last night and has been blustery to-day
