Page 134

Sunday 26 1911  I was at home all day.  Cold & wintry  I wrote a long letter to R G Allen at Billings Montana and to [Womer?] McCall.  I read in the evening.  Monday March 27 1911  A raging blizzard from the north-west.  Will did some work in the cellar.  I sewed some.  The wind died down at sunset.  I went in at 7.15 with Tishie & Ruth to the concert at the Church.  It was good.  The Callye Singing Girls   Tuesday March 28 1911  The weather was better.  I was busy all morning putting the house in order and getting dinner.  Mrs. Dow and Cora came out and Rob for dinner.  They went home at 4.15.  I did my dinner dishes and got our suppers.  I worked what time I had on my pillow cases.  Wednesday March 29 1911   Flurries of snow all day.  I sewed on my waist  I got it nearly done.  Will cut some wood.  Lee would have been 49 years old today had he lived.  I worked on my pillow cases in the evening.
