A rainy, nasty day. I did not work to day because it is a Holy day. Went to the shop in the morning, bought a newspaper and then went home again. Fixt 6 Curtains. At about 1/2 past 3 o’clock P.M. I went to the mill river dam, fishing. Martha was with me. We didn’t get a bite, this, and the unpleasantness in the weather, drove us home in short time. Martha ironed to day. Our new tenement is fully agreeable and we both enjoy it much. I hope to have good business, now that the shop is myn. Had Rice and stewed Beef for diner.
