Page 78

Saturday January 11th 1930
I went up town soon as breakfast was over
to do some errands. It began to snow soon
after noon. I hemmed towels for Rob. It is a
month today since I got home from Burlington.
It seems longer. I read a book in evening.
Sunday January 12th 1930
Slept late but was ready for S S when Rob came to
bring me a pie and took me to the church. Ott
brought me home. I got my dinner, read awhile,
and slept till 6 oclock. Was down stairs in evening.
Monday January 13th 1930
I did some washing and got the dinner. Ott was
here. I worked on the towels in afternoon. Wrote
Mrs Falk a letter in evening. A letter from LeGrand. He sent Fannies picture to me.
Tuesday January 14th 1930
I was busy all forenoon. A letter from Millie By---
It snowed all night and most of forenoon. Hattie
came soon after noon. I sewed on the towels. After
supper Rob came and took us to The S. U. I. play
"The Butter & Eggsman." It was very good.
Wednesday January 15th 1930
It was intensely cold. I sewed on the towels.
I had a letter from Mrs Art Robinson.
I read in the evening and was down stairs
awhile. Mrs Gay had been to the dentist
and felt rather miserable.
