Tuesday December 8th 1914 The weather the same as yesterday and we put in the time much the same. very glad to stay at home. Wednesday December 9th 1914 I was busy with the work most of the forenoon. Went to town at 1:15. Did a lot of shopping got home at 4:30 and did fancy work all eve. Had a talk with Ott in afternoon about the ill feeling in the family. I was glad of a chance to do so.
