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

Page 92

Thursday May 21st 1903
It rained all forenoon. I did some baking and
got the dinner. I was invited to Mrs Osbornes in
the afternoon but could not go. I washed windows
in the out-side from up stairs till nearly night.
I was very tired and went to bed early. A fine rain.
Friday May 22nd 1903
I washed windows and got the dinner. It was very
warm in the afternoon and looked like rain.
Fred came after Mollie. Mother is some better.
I read and rested in the afternoon.
Saturday May 28th 1903
I was busy all forenoon with baking and the dinner.
Rob and Fredrick were out for some things. Will
went to town in the afternoon and I went as far
as home. It was Legrands birthday. He is
nine years old and Fannie had a party
for him. Mother is much better. We came home
in time to do evening work. Will finished
planting corn at noon. I had a letter from Lydia Mason.
