Page 209

Tuesday August 6th 1901
I was busy about the cooking all forenoon. We had
men for dinner as they are stacking oats. I went
down town in the afternoon. I found Father not very well
I met Hatt & Dorothy at the depot at four oclock they
had been out to West Branch to spend the day.
Wednesday August 7th 1901
I went down town early this morning. I found Father
better. Dorothy came home with me to spend the
day, and caught a ride home in the evening. They
finished stacking oats today. Weather warm again.
Ott got home yesterday from Idaho he sprained 
his ankle and came home sooner than he expected.
Thursday August 8th 1901
There was a little rain last night. Us girls went
down to Stevens today. Dorothy rode with me
We had such a nice time and I never went 
over the road when it was pleasanter.
Friday August 9th 1901
Will went to the valley for his feed grinder
I went down for Mother this morning but she
could not come out. It rained some about
noon. Will and I went to town after supper.
