Monday September 17th 1917 Will helped me wash in the forenoon. I had some baking and other work to do. I rested in afternoon. Will mowed the yard and cut weeds. pleasant day. Tuesday September 18th 1917 I ironed in forenoon and went down at 2:15 for my treatment. I walked over home and found Birdie alone on the porch. Hattie came a little later and we had supper and walked back to town to a picture show. I got home at 8:30. Wednesday September 19th 1917 I made plum jelly today and got some grape juice ready for jelly. I did some sewing too.
