Page 40

Wednesday December 23rd 1903
It was late when we got up this morning. I
was busy all morning with the work. I sewed
on my waist in afternoon. I read and knit in the
evening. Mollie busy making out reports.
Thursday December 24th 1903
It was a pleasant day. I was busy all forenoon
had churning again today and sewed on my
waist in afternoon. Mollie went home as she
finished her term today. I spent the evening
down at the church at the Christmas tree.
Friday December 25th 1903
It was snowing this morning. We got ready to go
down home about ten oclock when there came a
terrible blow and began to turn cold. Will did
not feel well but took me down home.
They had a nice turkey dinner and every body
got present. Mother gave me 6 napkins and
Fannie a bread plate. We came home early
for Will to do chores. I read and knit in the
evening. weather intensely cold.
