Sunday December 5th 1909 It was snowing and an unpleasant day. I wrote letters most of the day I wrote to Mary Briggs. Alice [Condin?] and Martie Mason. Monday December 6th 1909 I was busy about the work and Will about house all day. I am making tatting for Miss [Straymeyer?] and worked at that some. Tuesday December 7th 1909 It was very cold I did the regular work. Churned in the forenoon Hattie came out in the afternoon But could not stay long. I am only getting two meals a day now with lunch at night. Wednesday December 8th 1909 It was a very cold day I did not have extra house-work to do and put in all my spare time at work I am doing for [Christine?] Thursday December 9th 1909 Not quite so cold. Will went to town to have work done on teeth I baked a cake and got the dinner at 2.30 I worked on tatting some and wrote to Laura in the evening. Eleven years since Edith died Friday December 10th 1909 Will went in town again today. I baked bread and did the regular work I put in the spare time on the tatting I am making for Fannies pillow cases. Blanche Jellison and Rob [Whetstone?] are both sick today. Will got Robs pipe he gave him to keep awhile and smoke if he wanted to
