I got a letter from Lorna Mason about her Mother coming out and a card from Lizzie.  I wrote here.  I picked strawberries in afternoon.  Art Jones helped with chores.  Will came home to leave the horse but went back again.  I was tired and went to bed early  Wednesday June 8 1910  I ironed and baked bread.  Will did not get home till nearly two oclock.  He slept part of the afternoon  I slept awhile and did the mending.  I picked berries after supper.  Weather cool.  Marjorie [Horlaich?] down home.  Thursday June 9 1909  I was busy all forenoon.  Had dinner early.  Wrote to Vera & Lizzie and to town at 2.12.  I got new curtains for the openings behind parlor & sitting room and that and dining room.  I bought white [illegible] [stools?] for our room.  After supper I went down to [Vaughns?] and gave the ones we had there to them.  It was late when my evening work was done.
