Tuesday January 5th

I went down to Sid's this morning and had Queen shod. She was badly in need of it and I thought that when it froze up after this thaw I wouldn't be able to get out with her if she wasn't sharp. I didn't get down there till nearly ten o'clock and Sid had 12 shoes to put on so I was going to come home again, but Harvey Shand & Jack Richardson who had the horses there said that they were not in a hurry and if I wanted to get back before noon would wait so Queen got shod first and I got home before dinner. Marj. had to go to the doctors again so as Ina was here we left Gay & the baby with her and took Harry B. with us. We sneaked off while Gay was asleep so there was no trouble from that quarter. I drove Ina home when we got back. It has been mild all day but very windy & colder to-night.
