Sunday December 1st 1907
It was a nice day.  We went down home at 11.37.  We had a quiet family dinner.  It was too bad Fannie was not able to come up.  Willie Anderson and [Milt?] & Mollie Moore called.  I came home at 5.20  Will earlier.  Talked all evening  Ott is 48 years old today.
Monday December 2 1907
I did some sweeping and extra home work in the forenoon  Will helped me bring down the machine and I sewed some.  Billy came back and Will hired him for this month.
Tuesday December 3 1907
I was busy with the work all forenoon.  I worked on the lace for the towel for the church fair and finished it.  I read in the evening.  A letter from Willie Laurence.
Wednesday December 4 1907
I got my work done so I went down town at 9.37.  I did some errands and went over home.  I put in most of the day ripping up an old waist I am going to fix for Mother.  I came home at 4.20  The boys [banked?] up the house in good shape today.  I made mincemeat in the evening.  a nice day.  I had a letter from Lizzie Lindley.
