She got home Thursday night.  I called at Mrs. Browns on my way over home.  She gave me the [illegible] Lizzie Lindley sent and a couple of pieces of fine [honey?].  I went on over home to supper.  It was such a fine day I came to town with Rob after supper and home at 7.30.  I worked at fancy work till late bed-time.  What a busy week it has been.
