Saturday June 27 1908
I did baking and cooking all morning.  I worked all afternoon cleaning the shed room.  Billy had time to pick the gooseberries and Will and I fixed them in the evening.  Will was down town in afternoon.  he took the box that had our present to Rob & Cora.  $40.00 in gold I think they will be pleased with it.  Rob started north tonight and Fred and LeGrand went to Davenport  they go north on the river.  Will God Bless all of them.
Sunday June 28 1908
I was all the morning taking care of the goose-berries and currants.  We drove down home in time for dinner.  Otts folks and [Louie?] [Bremer?] and two children were there.  We spent the afternoon visiting stopping at Woolfs on the way home.  Very tired  went to bed early.
Monday June 29 1908
Will helped me work and I got the kitchen windows washed before dinner.  In the afternoon we went down town Will got him a new suit and I a new hat.  I was at Dr Smiths office my eyes have been hurting me.  It was late when I got the evening work done  I had a great time with some of the little chickens.  John & Hattie, Ott & Fannie started to Robs wedding tonight.
