Easter Sunday April 4th

Aunty Alice was very anxious to have us go to church to-day but Marj. felt too miserable to go out or to have me go and leave her alone with the kids so we all stayed home and put in a quiet day. This after noon Harry B. and I drove over home as I wanted to make arrangements to go for hay to-morrow I am right out. We got the milk on our way home. Cloudy & raw inclined to drizzle.
