166. Saturday March 17th 1877. Late when we got up this morning, but got the work all done up in pretty good time. I worked on my tidy. The young folks all went over to the exhibition. Weather pleasanter. Sunday March 18th 1877 I helped do up the work and partly wrote a letter to Lizzie Lindley before dinner and finished it and read some before supper time. Pete and Mr Whetstone spent the evening here. Win was over in the afternoon. Weather cold and chilly. Monday March 19th 1877 We did not wash today I worked on my tidy all the day and evening I was not gone more than an hour. As soon as I got home Hatt went over to have her tooth pulled, by the time she got back it was snowing as hard as it possibly could.
