Tuesday October 5th 1909 I was busy about the work all the forenoon I am doing some things toward putting little things in place and cleaning cup boards and closets. Ida & Mary Anderson came out on the 4.30 and Elmer two hours later. They took supper with us and we had a pleasant evenings visit. Wednesday October 6th 1909 I did the regular work and cleaned a lot of silver, washed [many?] dishes and put them in the side-board I dressed a couple of the chickens in the afternoon. Will went to town he brought some things I needed. I worked with [tomatoes?] in the evening. I wrote to Lizzie Lindley Thursday October 7th 1909 On Tuesday I had invited some ladies of Carolville to dinner today and only two Mrs Kerr & Mrs Dennis came. The folks were out from home. I was sorry the others could not come I had [tohen?] trouble to prepare for them. We had a good visit. I put in the evening putting away dishes &c Friday October 8th 1909 Will finished putting away the old machinery with the help of Mr Hoffman they hauled straw yesterday. I brought things from the garret and put in the desk in the little room cleaned a lot of bottles and put up grape juice. Will was resting part of the afternoon but picked the [tomatoes?] for me.
