Tuesday December 28th

Did chores and worked for a very short time at the chicken house. This after noon went up to Harvey Shand's to help audit the school books. Bill Donald consented to be the other auditor and we waited about an hour for him and then Flossie and I went at it, and Bill came before we finished. He had been delayed by taking Lloyd Ryerse to the doctor. Lloyd jammed his finger while fixing his pump and the doctor at first thought it would have to be amputated but put 12 stitches in it instead. We found the books correct although the bank balance was about twelve dollars shy and as Harvey draws cash from the bank to pay small accounts, we didn't know how to locate the trouble. Marj. has had a time with the baby. She has been sick all day and was sick at her stomach at noon. Marj. had to sit and hold her all the after noon. Very mild & cloudy - snowed a little.
