Friday September 6 1907
Miss [Weise?] came to sew today we worked on the skirts I had ready.  I wrote to the girls at Colorado Springs tonight.  It is 25 years tonight since John & Callie McCollister were married  we were invited down there to a party but could not go.
Saturday September 7 1907
I was busy helping sew every moment I had to spare from the house work  Will went to town in the forenoon.  I bought a couple more shares of abstract stock today.  Mrs Smith and Gertrude called late in the afternoon.  Weather pleasant.
Sunday September 8 1907
It is 27 years today since John & Hattie were married.  They are having a good time at Colorado Springs.  I was busy all forenoon with the work.  Ott & William were out for dinner.  They did not stay long.  Will and I went down to see Mary  she got home Friday night.  Came home in time to do evening work.  Weather cool.
Monday September 9 1907
Did morning work before Miss [illegible] came to sew  she is working on my [thin?] dress.  I went to town in afternoon to see about trimmings.  Will plowing some and Billy is digging potatoes.
