Page 56

Friday February 19th 1904
Will did a big churning for me. I got the dinner
and was busy every minutes of the forenoon. Will
and I went over to Hartsocks in the afternoon &
had such a nice call. Anna has not been well.
Mollie did not go home tonight. I spent the evening
picking out nuts for tomorrow. I had a letter from
Sallie Reed. weather more pleasant.
Saturday February 20th 1904
Mollie went down town early this morning. I got
my things ready and we went about ten oclock.
Father and Mother have been married 59 years
today. They had a nice dinner for just the
near relatives. Dorothy Bremner was up from
Burlington and George Bremner and wife were
there with Fannie. I did evening work.  Lorie about the same.
Sunday February 21st 1904
I was busy about the house all the forenoon
as the weather was a little more moderate early.
I read and wrote in the afternoon.
Mollie did not come back tonight. I read
all the evening. weather turned cold at night.
