Washed the dishes after dinner while Annie and I talked and watched the childfen I was dissapointed because Grace could not come home. our dear Joseph of old been here for dinner to day he came to help Dad haul straw for to put on the boards above or between the stable and the roof so to keep the cold out from the animails, FO’s finger is much better now so he chopped a lot off wood this morning to last us for two a three days theere was a Federal Dr at the AC that took care off FO’s finger.
