Thursday May 25th 1916 I washed some stocking ec this morning and did some baking. I went to town in afternoon for an hour. Did mending and wrote in diary. Evening on the porch. very warm. Friday May 26th 1916 Will helped me wash. The clothes got dry so I ironed them in the afternoon. A terrible rain jist started before night. I am very tired. I read all evening. Saturday May 27th 1916 I cleaned the garrett and baked a pie and cake in forenoon. Will went to town awhile. I fixed a dress and did some crochet work. weather pleasanter. Sunday May 28th 1916 I went to church in the forenoon. Will thought it too warm to go. I got dinner and read awhile after dinner then wrote in this book. I saw many of the friends at church.
