there.  We had a delightful days visit and
the folks had such a good dinner.  I came
home at 4.15  I spent the evening knitting
and reading.  I hope we will all be here next year.
Sunday January 6th 1907
It was a bright morning and I prepared things
for dinner and went to church.  It clouded up at
noon.  In afternoon and evening I read some and
wrote to Anna Hartsock and Mollie Fletcher.
Monday January 7th 1907
It was still cloudy.  I was busy sewing most of
the day as the house work was not much to do.
Will was in town till late dinner time as
the board of trustees met to transact the final
business of the year.  I was busy knitting in evening.
Tuesday January 8th 1907
I washed in the forenoon.  The wind blew
very strong.  Will took the clothes down soon after
dinner.  I sewed in afternoon and put in all
the evening mending the sheets that were torn
by the wind on the line today.  Will home all day.
