A very nice day. Tending to a young calf for one of the townsfolk. Calf should be fine. Just weaker than I would expect at this point.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Mother was visiting with her dear friend @Amy_Hearn and I did not want to interfere so I spent the day checking on some of the livestock.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Cutting firewood. (Enjoying the beauty of the outdoors and the time alone for my thoughts. It's good to clear ones mind at times)

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Got word one of the townsmen is concerned about one of his calfs so I am going to head out to his place and check on things. (Gets on horse)

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

@Mr_Ingalls Thank you kindly. I am glad to be of help. How is Jack feeling? Better now? He will start being more careful of what he eats!

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Working at the mill today helping @Mr_Ingalls. Good for a man to keep busy.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Am checking in a few of the townsfolks livestock.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Spent the morning helping cut and carry firewood for townsfolk.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

I would like to say Happy New Year to all.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Going to find Ma a really nice tree to decorate! It will be beautiful when @Mrs_Whipple is finished it! (Walks around searching)

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Went to check on a couple of animals. Feels good to be of help to the townsfolk. Keeps my mind occupied.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

I am heading home. The horse is doing much better. I am thankful I could help. I will check on her again tomorrow.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

I should dial in to the switchboard and have @MrsOleson dial Ma @Mrs_Whipple and let her know where I am. (Wonders how to get word out)

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

(Feeling extremely tired after staying up all night tending to a sick horse) There are worse places than this barn I guess.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Seems my animals care skills will come in handy at last here. I have revived word of a horse needing tending.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Thank you @Mr_Ingalls for giving me instructions I make Ma's table. Good thing to have such a good man as a friend.

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

I am making Ma a new table for Christmas. Working on it slowly and carefully with guidance from. @Mr_Ingalls

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

@Mrs_Ingalls @Mrs_Whipple Thank you kindly Mrs Ingalls. Supper was delicious and Mr Ingalls sure knows how to play that fiddle!

[Grandville *TH* @G_Whipple]

Ma says idle hands are the devils workshop so I am going to help one of the townsmen do a bit of repair work on his place today.
