Saturday January 15th
Frank and I have put in a busy day besides doing the chores we got in two loads of corn, we only took two rows in the two loads but in some places it was badly frozen in so we didn't have time to take full rows. Dad. has felt very miserable to day and has not been out of bed at all his eyes ache {illegible}. Aunty has been over all the after noon and I walked home with her after tea and got the mail. Dick is a little better. Very blustery day especially this after noon. Strong wind with snow and very cold.
Sunday January 16th
Frank went to church this morning and I did chores I got them pretty well done up before dinner and this after noon Dick and I went down town Dick wasn't much better but vowed he was coming down and stayed down all night. Essie, Marj. and I paid a visit to the Prestons this after noon every female member of that family are sick in bed and Arthur and Mr. P. are keeping house. I came home about half past five and did chores and went down again after tea I was too late for church so I went up to Huby's for about an hour. Aunty Maude was sick with neuraligia and had gone to bed so I met Essie & Marj. on their way home from Mwethodist Church and went with them over to the Smith's., Harry & Fred were both home for Sunday. Mrs Smith looked very badly. I came home fairly early. Elva & Mr. James were over there this after noon and Huby was here when I got home before tea but didn't stay to tea. Aunty Alice was over to dinner and spent the after noon. Very cold nor'west wind all day. Blizzardy
