Page 151

Sunday December 2nd 1906
I did morning work, fixed my dinner and went to church.
Got our dinner soon as I came home. Then went down
to the funeral of Fred & Edith Robinsons baby. It was the
most beautiful little thing i ever saw. When I came
up home I did some writing. Went down to church in evening.
Monday December 3rd 1906
I did some sewing in forenoon. It turned so pleasant
in afternoon that I washed lace curtains. I am making
collars for the church fair and a scarf for myself.
Tuesday December 4th 1906
It was a fine day. Will helped me take up the
dining room carpet. I got the room all cleaned
ready to put it down soon after dinner. Got curtains
up and things all in place by four oclock. Will went
to town in afternoon. I sent the folks butter down.
Wednesday December 5th 1906
It rained all day. I could not go down to Mrs Hatch
to work for the church fair so put in all the time at
home. I had a long letter from Laura. Lydia is very poorly.
Thursday December 6th 1906
It was a cold windy day. Did the necessary work
and was busy all my spare time with different
things. Will busy about the place most of the day.
