76th supper ready at seven oclock. After supper I picked up the dishes and then went with Owen to take lessons in shooting at a mark. We spent a half hour pleasantly enough at that. After I came back I washed the dishes. And Owen and I talked all the evening Winnie was gone all day to West Liberty. Saturday June 20th 1874. Mother and Winnie went to town early this morning. I was here all alone and put in my time sewing on my dress waist They did not get home till noon and then Aunt Emma and family came with them. I helped get the dinner and sewed all the afternoon. Mother and Winnie went to town again before supper. I helped do the evening work, and talked with Owen and played cards with him and Arth Folsom. Jim F_ was here talking with Winnie. An intensely warm day and I have sewed so much this week that I am completely tired out. I will try and rest tomorrow
