Thursday December 18th

Dad. and Frank went down and cut a xcouple more trees in Preston's orchard this morning. I didn't do much but hang around waiting for Pickford as we expected him over to get one of the yearling rams to kill. He didn't comehowever. As there was no wmd to pump to-day we had to caerry all the ater for the stock so we spent most of the after noon doing chores. Frank drove down town to get a lot of Christmas groceries and a box to send Elva one of the pups in. I went down to-night to see if Marj. iny=tended going home to-morrow. I didn't see her but found that school started again to-day so she won't be able to go till Saturday. School has been cosed since Monday as some grater in the furnace had to be replaced and they just came yesterday.
