Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1910-December 31, 1911

Page 94

Monday October 31 1910  It was a fine day.  Will hauled 9 loads of sand from barge.  I was busy with the work all forenoon  I had a card from Lizzie Lindley and wrote her a short letter before I went to town at 3.10.  I was gone only an hour to do errands.  Tuesday November 1st 1910  I baked bread and got a nice dinner ready by the time Ott, Fannie, Mother & Hattie came out at 11.30.  It turned out to be a blustery day but Mother was well and stood it first-rate.  We had such a good days visit.  Will put a lot of coal in the cellar in the afternoon.  A letter from Nellie [Burwell?]  Wednesday November 2 1910  Will helped me some and I was till just twelve oclock cleaning the cellar again after putting the coal in.  It was a cold day   I then got us some dinner and did some mending and fancy work in afternoon and evening.
