Page 76

Saturday September 3 1910  I was busy all forenoon with the work.  Did quite a lot of baking.  Will went to town at 12.12.  Mrs Jacobs was p to pay her rent.  I wrote to Ida and did other writing in the afternoon.  It was so good to rest a little.  Sunday September 4 1910  It was a day of a heavy atmosphere and we did not exert ourselves much.  I read some and we talked.  Rob & Cora here in afternoon.  to bed early.  Monday September 5 1910  Will worked all day at the pile of old lumber left from the building last year and got it all cleaned away.  I started to wash late in the afternoon as the look of rain had passed away.  Ott called up at noon saying there was to be a meeting of the [Abstract?] Co and wanted me to come down which I did at 1.12.  I gave him power to vote my stock. Came home at 2.30 and finished up the washing.  putting some of it on the line after supper
