It was late when we got up. I talked with the
girls most of the forenoon. Frank was not here
for dinner. Clara did not go back till 4.30. We
had such a pleasant day. After supper John, Hattie,
and Lorie came out to spend the evening.
Alma and I walked down to the 3 oclock extra
with them. We did not go to bed till after ten.
Monday September 3rd 1906
I washed this morning. Alma went in town. Frank
was not here for dinner. I did some extra wash
after dinner. I was sitting on the porch when the
3.15 came and Will was on it. We visited on the
porch till time to do the evening work. He had a fine time.
