141 Mrs Dennison It was nearly night when they got home and I had begun to get the supper. I sewed a little in the evening and read a little. Weather rather fine It was five years tonight since I attended the wedding of Ada Sangster. Tuesday December 28th 1875. This has been a real pleasant stay. Mother and Lee went to the valley I washed and washed the wood-work in the kitchen and had supper nearly ready when they got home I was very tired in the evening as I had worked so hard all day. Did not do much of any thing but went to bed early. Wednesday December 29th 1875. It was late when we got up this morning. And as soon as I could get ready I went to town with Lee in the buggy. Just as we were ready to start Win came over and she rode back with us. It was a fogy sloppy morning and I got pretty well drabbled running around inviting company for Friday night. I got a lot of groceries and we got home about one oclock. I ironed a little and we had dinner at three oclock.
