Saturday October 19 1907 I was busy with the work all forenoon. Some after dinner I took Mrs Bivens down town in the buggy. We called at Mrs Sterlings. I got my hat and did some errands. Will drove home for me. We left Mrs Bivens at Folsoms. I sewed all the evening. A letter from Nellie Byington and Lorna Mason. Sunday October 20 1907 We did not get up very early. I took my time to the house-work. I feel I have been hurried so much lately I wrote and read some in afternoon. a fine day jist such a one as twelve years ago when we buried Charlie. that was Sunday too. I wrote a letter to Mary Briggs in the evening. Monday October 21st 1907 I did a large washing with out help and got the house-work all done by dinner time. I went down town at 1.37 and after doing some errands I met Emma Bivens to go to Mrs Cochrans reception. Had a very pleasant time, came home at 4.20. I folded the clothes before supper and had them all ironed by bed-time. It was a very pleasant day. Will sold 15 big hogs today at $6.00 [illegible] that brought $406.20
