helped Marj make valentines for her kids. It has been sunny to day but a very cold wind it is freezing hard to-night but a lovely night, moonlight and still.
Monday February 14th
Dad. took Enah down to the Jame's this morning and Dick & Frank went at the same time. Enah took the baby with her When Dad. got back we took a hindquarter of the beef down to Aunty Alice & Dad. cut it up partly for her. It was nearly noon when we got back. I went to sleep in the chair after dinner and didn't wake up till about two o'clock. Then Dad. and I went out and sacked up the wheat which was over in the big barn and hauled it over to the old barn we had to make two trips with it as we only had two bags but we filled the fifty bushel bin nearly, there was more here than we thought there was. To-night I went down to see "What {happened?} to Jones" which was put on by a bunch of Waterford amateurs and it was good and very comical. I was surprised to see Frank come in and sit down ahead of us with a nice looking little girl who Marj. told me was her cousin Olive Ward. He stayed down at Aunty's all night to get measured for a shirt. Enah and the baby also stayed down at the James. Poor Dad. had a very sad accident
