Tuesday January 12th 1904
I got my work done early and Will and I
went out to Will Andersons. We had a pleasant
visit came home to do evening work. It snowed
some. I knit and read in evening.
Wednesday January 13th 1904
weather colder today. I sewed on Mother's waist
all the time when not busy with the house work.
Mrs Koser spent the evening with us.
Thursday January 14th 1904
weather pleasanter. I was busy all forenoon
with the dinner. I went down home in the
afternoon to fit Mothers waist. Fannie has not
been well this week. I was busy all evening.
Friday January 15th 1904
Will churned for me I got my work done by
noon so I sewed all afternoon. I got Mothers
waist nearly done. It was a nice day.
Mollie went home tonight. I knit in the
evening. I have made a pair of sheets
this week besides other sewing.
