113 Friday October 13th 1876. Mother and I did house-work all day long Hatt came home just before supper time. I went over to town with Lee in the Eve and Win and I went to society. Then down to the hall where Lee was attending a sociable and we came right away. Weather pleasant all day but set in to rain at night. Saturday October 14th 1876. We hurried to get our work done up as we expected Grand-ma and Aunt Emma up They came and we had a very pleasant visit and I went home with them. We talked till late bed-time. Sunday October 15th 1876 It was late when we ate breakfast this morning. I went down to Stevens before noon and stayed till Rob came along. We took dinner at Aunt Emma's and went from there to Aunt Linda's and then up to Aunt Sarahs and home by the upper road. It was supper time we got home. I was tired and cold. A bright day.
