Thursday August 11 1910 Rob brought Mother out early. I got the dinner and did some sewing. Will took her down home after supper. I did evening work and talked to Will on the porch Friday August 12 1910 I went down home at 8.12 to stay with Mother while the girls went to a evening party I wrote letters to Ida, & Lizzie and one to Aunt Lydia for Mother. I went to town about one and home at 2.30 did a little sewing and had supper early so Will and I went to the opening of The Chautauqua in the evening. It was nice and I saw Dr Clark our old pastor Saturday August 12 1910 I was busy all evening with baking and other work. Had dinner as Will went to town at 12.12 I went at 2.12 to The Chautauqua and we came home together at 4.30. Got the evening work done so we road back in the evening. I wrote a card to Lydia in reply to yesterday's letter and a card to both [illegible]. It is very hot and [sultry?] if it would only rain to settle the dust
