Tuesday December 15th 1903
Still very cold. I was busy about the house
a great part of the day. Did some mending.
Will busy with the care of the stock.
Wednesday December 16th 1903
I baked bread today and got the dinner. Will
went to town in the afternoon and I went down
to spend the afternoon with Mother. The girls were  
over to church. Lorie is quite sick.
Thursday December 17th 1903
I had churning again today. I was busy till nearly
three oclock when I went down to Mrs Davis awhile.
I sewed on pillow cases in the evening.
Friday December 18th 1903
I was very busy all forenoon doing sweeping &c
as it had warmed up so I could open windows.
Will and I went to town in the afternoon but
were home by four oclock as it looked
like rain. Mollie went home tonight.
I spent the evening down at Mrs Ed Kosers.
I did a lot of shopping this afternoon.
