Friday April 21st 1905 I had churning early this morning and took Fannie butter & eggs after noon. Will and I went to town in buggy. I got me a new [cruenette?] and took to Mrs Vanpatten to make. I stopped at home on my way back as Hattie was entertaining the social church society. It was late when we got home and I worked till nearly bed-time to finish my wash. Out in ice for the first time. Saturday April 22nd 1905 I had a very busy forenoon with baking and getting the dinner. I was very tired. I sewed a little in the afternoon. After supper Will and I both worked in the yard awhile. We were both tired so took our bath and went to be early. Sunday April 23rd 1905 It was Easter Sunday and a fine day. I got my work done early and my dinner started. George & Flora Stevens were up for a visit. After they had gone I looked after my evening chores and in the evening wrote a letter to Mrs Jones in Waverly Ohio in regard to business for Will Thomas. Monday April 24th 1905 I did the washing alone this morning and got the dinner ready on time. I was busy about the yard and with the chickens. I was very tired. The men were plowing today.
