Sunday February 6th

It rained and froze during the night so every thing was covered with ice this morning but it has been sunny mild all day so the ice is pretty well gone off to-night. We were late getting up so it kept Marj. busy getting ready for dinner as she had invited the Lampkins over. They came and spent the after noon, before they left the Willie Shands came down and they stayed for tea, so the day has been very much of a social whirl. Willie & I tried to frame up a ground work for our part of the debate next Friday night at the school-house. I painted a couple of show-cards to-night advertising the social while Marj. read aloud from "The Fair Maid of Perth".

Monday February 7th

I spent the fore-noon killing chickens and got nine killed I intended killing them all but Marj. went over to the school house this morning and framed up a party for to-morrow night so she wanted to go to town this after noon. We all drove down and we left the kids at Aunty's where they had a grand romp with Dad. while we went up town. Dick was going to Woodstock with Charlie Ivey to see the game between Dover & Woodstock juniors to-night. I walked down to Roy Hammonds to-night to invite them to Marj's party to-morrow night. Raw morning sunny this after noon.
