Saturday November 13th 1920
Hattie was home all day preparing a turkey supper.
I helped some about the work. Cora went to the game
with Emily Bremner. It was Home-Coming and a big
day the store. Ron did not get home to supper. The
folks from the other house were here. William is
some better. We rode over late afternoon to see Will Bremners private car on tracks.
Sunday November 14th 1920
It was snowing this morning. Ott called up to tell
us that Fannie was sick. Hattie went down there
Rob & Cora to town awhile. I read some. I wrote to May
in afternoon and read a book in evening. All at home.
Monday November 15th 1920
I did some sewing in forenoon. Cora to town in AM
to work at store. Hattie over in afternoon. I went down
to sit with Fannie. We were all at home in evening.
Legrand came up to say good-bye. He goes to Detroit tonight.
Tuesday November 16th 1920
We had Junior Dunlap here all the forenoon. The girls
were sewing. I was down to see Fannie awhile. We took
a ride after dinner. The girls both to town after supper.
Wednesday November 17th 1920
We did a big washing and finished by dinner time.
I kept a fire out in the kitchen and put away the
things, got the clothes in and ready to iron. Mollie
came over to stay all night. Cora at store all afternoon.
I had a letter from Lydia. I was very tired tonight.
