Iowa Byington Reed diary, July 1, 1902-July 31, 1903

Page 56

Sunday January 11th 1903
It was a very cold day. I read some and
wrote to Ida Cutler & Lydia Mason. Ida was away
all day. Mollie came back tonight. Talked all evening.
Monday January 12th 1903
Still cold. I sewed the lace on a handkerchief in
the forenoon and made tatting in afternoon. Sewed
carpet rags in evening. Too cold to leave the fire.
Tuesday January 13th 1903
Weather more pleasant. We did churning and got
the dinner. Ida had a letter from Mary Price,
she is sick and wants her to come out. Ida
went to town with Will in the afternoon.
Mollie spent the evening away from home. I sewed some.
Wednesday January 14th 1903
weather very much milder. We got an early
start and worked and churned and I baked a
big cake before dinner. I went down  home in
the afternoon, was busy all evening..
