Page 87

Friday October 7 1910  We are cooking in the kitchen now.  Will took the borrowed stove home.  He went to town twice to get feed [ground?].  I was too tired and sick with a cold to do much of any thing.  We did not hear from Lizzie D and she did not come as we hoped she would  Saturday October 8 1910  I felt some better and was busy with the work in the morning.  I ate my dinner so I left out noon to go down home.  I stopped at Otts with the butter.  After that I went up home.  Fannie & I had a talk over our family affairs.  I staid with Mother while Hattie & Cora when to town.  I came home at 4.30.  Did evening work and went to bed early.  I have a very bad cold   Sunday October 9 1910.  I was at home all day.  I was busy with the work most of the forenoon and wrote a letter to Lizzie Lindley and read the papers.  I did evening work and went to bed early.  I still feel badly with my cold.
