Page 13

Friday February 15 1907
I did not feel so very well but put in the time sewing.  I am working on muslin for myself.  Will busy about the place.  He went in town in forenoon to get some one to fix well  the pump is broke.  It told in tonights paper that Walter Lee had died in California.
Saturday February 16 1907
I was busy most of the forenoon in the kitchen  Will had a man helping most of the day fixing the pump.  They finished at 5.30.  I got our suppers over and sewed in the evening.  It was a very pleasant day.
Sunday February 17 1907
It was a beautiful morning but I did not feel like going to church  It was very late when we had breakfast.  I got the meals and read and rested the most of the day and evening.  Hattie tells me Emma McCallister is very sick.
Monday February 18 1907
Will did a big churning for me and I got the butter ready to go down home.  Hattie is sick in bed.  I stopped in town on my way home to get more things for my muslin sewing.  I worked a little in the evening  Weather warm in morning but turned colder about four oclock.
