Sunday February 28th
As usual we were very late getting up this morning and as we were booked for dinner at Mrs. Walkers we had to hurry around to get ready. We spent a very nice after noon. The kids had a gay time as Clara Tupper who was over there skating with Trum's kids came in and the whole bunch played very boisterously. I spent most of the after noon looking at Topsy's snapshots. Strong raw south west wind and snow this afternoon. Milder to-night.
