Tuesday November 18th 1890 It was a pleasant day. Mother and June Harris was here for dinner. I knit a little and read in the evening. Will was sitting in a chair today. Wednesday November 19th 1890 I was busy about the dinner all the forenoon. Mary Woolf came over to spend the day. I had Anna clean the bay window in the afternoon. It was warm and pleasant. I knit all my spare time through the day and read in the evening. Thursday November 20th 1890 It was a fine day and we done the washing. Will and I were in town all afternoon. I ordered groceries and called at Minnie Shavers where Mother and June were and Will sat at Moons drug store but did not see the Dr. We came home before it was late as I had the clothes to roll up and other things to do. Knit in the evening. It was six years today since Charlie and Ida were married.
