Fannie on the street, rode home with her, and had
a long talk about the party. Was up home awhile.

my company. I took Lorie down home. stopped at
Woolfs on the way back. Did evening work and
visited with Alma who came to stay all night.

Alma went down town in the morning and I baked
bread and cakes, had dinner early, and went down
at 12.30. I got a lot of things for the party tomorrow
and left some at the depot. I had a letter from
Will today. Bertha Williams was there at home.
We had a nice visit. I went up to the depot
to take the car and Alma got on at the
bridge. We came home, did evening work, and
got the meat ready for tomorrow. Frank went
to help thresh and was gone all day.
