Page 128

Thursday November 11th 19826
Hattie went down town. I wrote Warner McCall
and Harty McKinstry. I did some sewing. Soon
after lunch went down town by street car and on
over the river by Bus. I walked up the old north
hill past the house, was at Otts till late PM.
They brought me back. Hattie had been to a luncheon.
The evening listening to The Radio. Read LeGrands letters.
Eight years ago tonight Will was with me out at
sister Idas house. The Armistice celebration was on. 
Friday November 12th 1926
I did some sewing in the forenoon. Went with
Hattie to Mrs Raymonds to The Red meeting. Mrs
Remley invited me. A delightful day. Mrs Swisher
came over for awhile. I rode down town with
Mary and Fannie. I wore my old fur coat
and left it and wore the one home I got in
place of it. Rob & Cora away for the afternoon.
Wrote LeGrand in the evening.
Saturday November 13th 1926
I was busy sewing for myself most of the
forenoon. I got a coat of mine from the trunk
over the garage to give away and burned a hat of Wills and
one of mine. Hattie and I went to Mrs [Mumeras?] reception
with The Ensigns. It was raining. I had a letter
from Winnie and wrote Lydia. Rob took his
Mother over to Otts to spend the evening.
I was tired. I read some and went to bed early.
