Monday June 11th 1923
Was busy about the house in AM. Norma got
back at noon. Hattie and I to town in a taxi
in afternoon. I did errands about house keeping
and walked home. Hattie, Laura & me evening together.
Tuesday June 12th 1923
The washing was done this morning. I put
away the groceries I ordered yesterday. Was down
to Fannies a little while. Hattie and I rode to
town with her in afternoon. I took a treatment
and Laura and I went to a picture show. It was
evening so we came home in taxi. Hattie with
Rob at supper time. The evening together.
Wednesday June 13th 1923
When the ironing was done I fixed the
kitchen so Laura and I could eat supper alone.
She gets her lunch in town. Hattie home all
day. Ott & Fannie took us to ride in the evening.
Thursday June 14th 1923
I painted some screens and worked about my
part of the house in AM. Clara Remley here
in afternoon. We ate supper with Hattie, Clara here too.
Friday June 15th 1923
Busy in AM. Hattie had Aunt Emma, Anna
Esker & Ida & Ott & Fannie for afternoon and
evening. A pleasant visit. The weather so
we sat on the porch. I did not go for treatment.
