Sunday December 29th 1929 Ott took me to S S & church. This is the last day Mr Rhind preaches for us. If Lizzie Lindley were living I would write her that it was 60 years tonight since the spelling school at The Ryerson school house. I wrote Winnie and wrote a list of letters sent. Monday December 30th 1929 I took down curtains in front rooms and washed them. I washed wood-work and windows. I slept awhile in afternoon. Then cut out my drapes for front rooms and sewed a little before time for supper. I had a card to announce Harry Ables Mother would be buried this afternoon. I read in the evening. I got quite a lot of mail. I will make a list of it later. a pleasant day.
