Thursday September 1st 1927
I went up town early. Got a dress at Strohs.
I sewed a little after I came home. Soon after
dinner Mary came for me. Spent the PM with
Fannie. Hattie & Cora called there. Mary brought me home.
It was 16 years ago today Mother died. Mr Bremner buried.
Friday September 2nd 1927
I took the dress back and got some thing better.
Did some other errands. Found such a pretty
hat. Hattie came so we went to the first picture
show. Cora took us up there at five oclock. I
wrote Lydia. It was a very hot day. Home by taxi at 9 oclock.
Saturday September 3rd 1927
I went up town in AM. Did several errands.
Later I did some sewing and The Byingtons went in
the country for apples and took Hattie & me
with them. Up town in evening. No mail today.
Sunday September 4th 1927
Rob came early to tell me Birdie was here.
Ott took me to S S and took Hattie & me to
her house after church. She and Birdie came
home with me for supper and spent the evening.
Monday September 5th 1927
I went up town to see The Labor Day parade. The
Whetstones took me over to Byingtons. I was home
part of the afternoon. When they came from taking
Birdie to the depot Rob & Hattie stopped for me.
I was up there till bed-time. very warm in my room.
