Sunday August 2 1908
We got the work done up and Will and I went to Woolfs, Will was resting quietly and Jennie was comfortable.  She has a pain in right shoulder for several days.  I got our dinners and spent the afternoon on the bed.  I was sick in the night and not well today.
Monday August 3 1908
It was a very warm day.  I felt better and got my morning work done so I went down home at 12.12 to sew all the afternoon.  Came home at 5.39 to do the evening work.  Will at home all day not very well.
Tuesday August 4 1908
I was over talking with Mrs Jones part of the forenoon as they were working at their place today.  I slept in the afternoon and sewed a little  not as warm today.
Wednesday August 5 1908
I went down to Woolfs and on down home for Mother.  We got home at ten oclock and I got the dinner.  Mother and I went down to Mrs Robinsons in the afternoon and Hattie came out.  They went home at 7.12.  I walked down to the depot with them and came home to do some work.
