he didn't stay long. We then all drove over there and got a few potatoes and took Tim a birthday present for to-morrow. He & Frank were skating on the pond. Marj. spent the evening reading a detective story that she got for Dick and was then scared to go to bed. I sat up trying to draw a horses head that looked like Josie to embellish a couple of verses that Marj. composed to go on a horse blanket that the family are giving Josie for Christmas. Much milder and snowing to-night.
