Sunday February 18 1911   It was colder today  I went to church. John told me his Aunt Mary [Horne?] died yesterday.  After dinner Will and I went down to the house awhile.  I wrote a letter to Anna [Hertsock?] and read some.   Monday February 20 1911  It was a cold day and I felt very bad with my cold.  Charlie Hedges was here for dinner.  He was helping Will do some plastering down at the house.  It was 66 years today that Father & Mother were married  Tuesday February 21 1911  Still cold and I do not feel well.  Charlie worked till noon today to finish the plastering.  I read some and worked at my fancy work.  Wednesday February 22 1911   I feel some better.  Will went in town after noon to get some things needed about the papering  Mr Hughes brought out my new machine and took away the old one I had tried.
