Page 22

Thursday October 15th 1903
I was busy all forenoon with the regular work
and the dinner. The boys busy with the potatoes.
I had Warren Smith help me wash in the
afternoon. It was a little cloudy but did not rain.
Friday October 16th 1903
It was a fine day. I ironed and did regular
work. The boys are getting in potatoes. Mollie
went home tonight. She is not at all well. Will
and I went to town this afternoon. Was at home for
a little time. There was an excursion to Minneapolis
tonight. I wanted Will to go but Walter went away.
Saturday October 17th 1903
There was a cold wind and a very ugly day. I did
some baking. The churning and got out dinner. In the
afternoon I did a little sewing. It was not fit to go out.
Sunday October 18th 1903
It was much more pleasant. I was busy all the
forenoon and in the afternoon went down home.
Will went as far as Woolfs with me. I talked
with Mollie in the evening, went to bed early.
