Page 207

Sunday July 28th 1901
It was cooler this morning and I read some after
the morning work was done. I slept most of the
afternoon. It rained a little more.
Monday July 29th 1901
We did a big washing with the other work
this morning and went down home in the
afternoon. Mother and I spent most of the 
time in town. Will and Charlie went down
to finish fixing the fence. Weather pleasanter.
Tuesday July 30th 1901
We did ironing and baking this morning and
Will and I went over to get some more strawberry
roots. In the afternoon we took a ride around by
the Sangster place to see a carpenter and I
spent the afternoon at Fannies with all the girls.
I put out my strawberries after I came home.
Edith would have been twenty years old today.
Wednesday July 31st 1901
I was busy about the work most of the forenoon
Will went down town in the afternoon while I stopped at
home and Mother and I started to find the M.E Church
picnic. We could not so stopped at Woolfs for a
call. I did the evening work after coming home.
