Page 56

Saturday July 2 1910  I went to town at 8.12 to get a lot of little things I needed.  Will came an hour later and was down all day to The [Camention?].  I got me some dinner and put in the time sewing after I wrote to Lizzie.  I go a card from her she was to reach home at 4. am Thursday  It turned cooler toward evening.  Went to bed early.  Sunday July 3 1910  I did the work and some reading and writing  I had expected to go down home to visit with Allie Halson but felt too tired so will wait till tomorrow.  Monday July 4 1910  It was cooler this morning there having been rain to the north.  Will & I fixed the windows in the garret as they could be left open and I cleaned up there and put a lot of things away  I went down to Otts at 6.12 to a picnic supper and Will came later for the fire-works which were very good.  We come home at 9.30  Will painting on the fence today
