Saturday July 30 1910  We took things down to Fannie after I had dressed two chickens for her.  George & wife brought Mr & Mrs [Bremer?] yesterday.  We went up home for a call and on over town for things.  I got dinner and sewed all afternoon.  A letter from Lizzie Duncan says she will not come for a visit now  Sunday July 31 1910  I was busy with the house-work all forenoon  I slept read and wrote some in afternoon  Spent the evening on the porch with Will.  Monday August 1 1910  I did a big washing in the forenoon.  Will felt very badly and was lying down most of the forenoon.  I sewed all afternoon on white dress.  Mrs Jacobs [illegible] [illegible]  Tuesday August 2 1910  I did the ironing in the forenoon.  Will cleaned the smoke from the lower boards on the out-side of kitchen.  I sewed all afternoon on my white dress.  Weather very pleasant
