Page 29

Sunday April 10 1910  I was busy with the work. I could not go to church I had little chickens hatching and I got dinner early so I went up to Homes with John & Hattie at 1.30.  We spent a pleasant afternoon.  When we got back at 6.12 Hattie stopped for supper.  John went on to town.  I did the evening work.  A beautiful Day.  Monday April 11 1910  I did the house work.  Will churned for me and we fixed nest to set more hens.  I got the little chickens out in the coops.  I have 48 of them.  Tuesday April 12 1910.  Hattie had a party today for the girl cousins & did not get down till 11.12  I had to look after the chickens.  It was a beautiful day and the girls with other friends came; The dinner was fine and it was a most enjoyable day.  I got a letter from Alice Condon today and her sister Clara is very near death from cancer.  A card from Lizzie Lindley says she may not come till May 1st  I came home at 5.30.  Will at home all day.
