We did a big washing and washed a carpet. Will 
went to the valley for wood. Mollie and I
spent the evening visiting, she was down town last night.
Thursday November 14th 1901
I took an early start to take Mother down to
Aunt Ellens. We stopped at Uncle Jims for
some sausage. We had such a nice time
only the trip home was pretty cold. I sewed
all the evening. Mollie down town tonight.
Ida and the boys away. ida is going to work for Mary Price.
Friday November 15th 1901
It was a cold windy day. The men warked very
hard to finish the buggy shed. I sewed all the
times I could get for Ida she is getting her
things ready to go out to Marys tomorrow.

Was at work all forenoon while Will went to the
pasture. I went down home awhile in the afternoon.
