Page 103

Thursday June 25th 1903
Will churned for me and planted a lot more late
garden. He plowed corn in the afternoon. I was busy
about the kitchen in the morning and sewed in afternoon.
Friday June 26th 1903
It was a year ago today we had our big party at
home for the cousins. I had a busy day. I swept the
house and cleaned up things nicely and put in the
afternoon putting the double cup-board to rights. Will
was down town. Walter worked about the place in
afternoon. I was very tired went to bed early.
Saturday June 27th 1903
The boys churned for me before going up to Danners
for hay. I did some baking and got dinner.
I sewed some in the afternoon and was down to
Coralville of an errand. I felt too tired to
go down home in the afternoon. Will and I
were both very tired and went to bed early.
