Page 24

Wednesday March 23 1910.  Will went in to get Charlie Merrifield to do the work at the house.  I was down there a couple of times. and did a little mending and got the meals.  Thursday March 24 1910  This would have been Father's birth-day.  I was down to the house a couple of times to see about the work.  Will plowed the garden and hauled a couple of loads of sand to put on it.  I did not feel very well.  Fannie got home today  Friday March 25 1910  I felt better and it was some cooler so I washed and did a lot of scrubbing and part of the ironing  Merrifield finished the work so Will took him in town in the afternoon with the paper to return.  Saturday March 26 1910  I did not feel well but did ironing and baking in forenoon.  Will went to town at 1212 and I took butter down to Fannie & Hattie at 2.12.  I came home at 5.30  I had thought I would stay till after supper.  It was late when I got the wash done.  To bed early.
