The began to work on the house and tore the old porch down. Thursday June 28th 1877. I was sewing a part of the time today and after supper dressed myself and went to town. Rob got home tonight. He had a pretty severe trip on account of the bad weather. A year ago today Lou and I started to Desmoines. Friday June 29th 1877. We had only just got the work done up when Uncle Jim came after me to spend the day with them. I went and he brought me home in the evening. I was tired and went to bed early.
