Monday November 7th 1927
I went up town to do errands. I stopped at The Millers
and was taken up to The Cemetery to make plans for
changing the marker at Wills grave and putting one
at Mays. I went over to Fannie by taxi in afternoon.
The Bremners went away tonight. I rode home with
Cora. Letter from Mattie Fletcher. Read in evening.

I was working on curtains most of the day after
I cleaned the bath room. Hattie here a little while.
I went up town late. Got more curtains. A letter
from Ida. She will be coming soon. Sewed all evening.
Wednesday November 9th 1927
I sewed on curtains all AM. The Byingtons took me up
to Hatties to the annual meeting of her church group. I
worked all evening regulating trunks and closets. Irna
Klein came in for a call late in the evening.
Thursday November 10th 1927

and light bill. Got me a meat grinder and other errands.
I felt too tired to go to prayer meeting. A foggy day.
