Sunday December 28th

We were very late getting up again this morning so none of us but Frank went down to church, he went dwn to Sunday school and church Dad. and I did chores and read all morning. We let Belle out for a run, which she enjoyed very my=uch and no doubt benefitted by although we did notice that the swelling in her led waas reduced much. it she didn't show any sign of lameness. This afternoon about half past two I drove Louis eup to the Bowlby's again. The roads were good, smooth and hard with no snow to bother so I was home before dark. Jonas climbed in the. uggy with me as I passed his plav=ce and came up for a visit, to get rid of trouble he said although he didn't seem in a very down cast mood. He has another farm in view now which is owned by to old maids who live on the place, and if he gets it he has to move the first of March and live in half the double house.

Dad. and Enah and Tiddums expected to go down to Mrs. Battersby's thsi afternoon but Tiddums went to sleep and blocked the games. I drew to-night, Dick hasd been skating on the creek this afternoon, he says the ice is pretty good and far the most opart strong. He went to church to-ngiht. Frank I think spent his time abck in the gull. Lovely day, no wind and fairly sunny.
