Friday June 28 1907
I cleaned silver and did some other finishings of the house cleaning.  Mother came up at 10.20.  I got the dinner and in the afternoon visited with her and too my cream [illegible] [illegible] apart.  I am going to fix it different.  I put Mother on the 5.37 car.  I did my evening work.  Went down to the store for some thread and was at Vaughns awhile.  The baby is better.  He has been very sick.  I wrote Lorna after.
Saturday June 29 1907
I did some baking early and a little sewing before dinner.  Will went to town in afternoon.  I sewed on my waist all afternoon.  Most of the home folks went to the Presbyterian picnic today.  I varnished the kitchen floor after supper.  This has been a busy week.  I am tired.
Sunday June 30 1907
I did the morning work and laid down on the couch awhile.  Then took a bath and got dinner  I washed my hair soon as I got the dishes washed  there was such a warm wind blowing.  It soon clouded up and I went out and found a nice pan of strawberries   they will be the last.  Will busy most of the forenoon and slept after dinner.  There was rain in the evening.
