Page 128

Thursday March 2 1911  I ironed in forenoon.  I went to town at 3.15.  Got a hat I was having fixed and some other things before 4.30  Went to The Newton lecture on Jane Austin  Went home with Hattie & Mollie.  We looked over Rob & Coras house  They moved in today  I came back to town with Carl at 7.00 and home at 7.30  It was ten years this evening since Lee died  Friday March 2 1911  I worked all day at house cleaning.  Will went to town after an early dinner with feed to have ground and some windows for new glaze.  Trishie & Elouise were out in the afternoon for a couple of chickens  I read most of the evening.  Rob was out for a couple of tables this morning.  Saturday March 4 1911  Will went to town twice today having a lot to look after.  Paid all the taxes, some other bills and got both our bank books.  It was a fine day.  I worked some and did more cleaning and washed some windows.  I have the house in good order.  I read most of the evening  I finished a book I got down home.
