Thursday April 4th

I have put in another day at Jack's cleaning out chicken house most of the time. Enah seems to be alright again but Dad. is still pretty miserable he lay around all day but was able to eat a little. Aaunty and Lila were over here to dinner. I had a letter from the Shaw Correspondence School yester day saying that my drawings showed I had the ability to make a success as an Illustrator. I suppose they say the same to every one but I think if possible I will take the course in the Fall. Fine and Cold. Freezing to-night.

Friday April 5th

I have been over at Jacks all day. Dad. felt well enough to help me milk this morning and he went down town for dinner. when I got home to-night he had the milking all done and separated. He feels a little weak yet and has a bad cold. Frank went down town on his wheel and got Alan Law to bring home our new waggon tongue which Joe Howell made and ironed off for only two dollars. To-night Frank and I went with Aunty to hear Mr. Crossley and see him give his physical culture exercises. She had invited the Odd Fellows and Masons to come and hear him so the Presbyterian Church was well filled.
