Page 38

Sunday May 19 1907
The boys took Hal & Joker to the pasture this morning   I really did not do a thing all forenoon.  After I had dinner for Will and I, I read and wrote some.  There is a high wind jist like last Sunday.  Hattie was out for an hour in afternoon.  I did evening work and went to bed early.
Monday May 20 1907
I had churning to do and was busy all afternoon  Went down town at 1.37.  When I got to the Dr office I found Will Woolf was very sick.  I went over with the Dr and then back to town to do my errands and home at 4.20.  Will was planting corn on the Woolf land  I did evening work.  Was tired so went to bed early.
Tuesday May 21st 1907
I did some baking and got the dinner.  Will finished planting corn at noon and in the afternoon took seed - corn and potatoes down to the home folks.  Billy helped me and we did a large washing.  I got part of the clothes dry.  My cold is much better.  It was late when I got the evening work done  had a pretty [illegible] card from Aunt Sarah.
