Sunday April 4th 1897 As soon as we got the work done we went up to Elmer Andrews to spend the day. Frank & George Stevens were there. A pleasant visit we had. A shower kept us there till we were late home. After the work was done. I read a little. Monday April 5th 1897 Will went up to Steves for our meat this morning. I put in the morning looking for turkey nests. I was over to Auntys a moment. Henry & Karl were down and Karl ate dinner with us. Will helped me wash after dinner. It was a showery afternoon. I read all the evening. Tuesday April 6th 1897 I baked cake, churned & did some sweeping in the forenoon. I took Aunty over something for her dinner and was over again in the afternoon. I came home to do the evening work. Will was up to the old place and on to town today.
