Wednesday July 8 1908
Ida did some washing this morning I did churning  Will was having hay taken  from the barn to sell.  I was kept busy with the work.  In afternoon Nellie rode with us as far as home and Ida & I went on to town for things I needed and we went to the cemetery.  They finished plowing the corn for the 5th time.  Nellie did not come back.
Thursday July 9 1908
Ida did her ironing and I was busy with the baking  In the afternoon we took a drive up to the Tuberculosis Hospital and home the [Tiffen?] road.  It is growing warm again  Will began to cut hay.  Nellie down home yet.  I had a long letter from Mary Briggs.
Friday July 10 1908
It was a warm morning I made some jelly and get the dinner.  Ida started to go down home to go to a P.E O meeting with the girls.  The car was late she came back and started again  It was terribly warm  Will went to town too.  I had Billy help me do a big washing.  Ida came back in the evening to stay all night.
