Monday February 18- 1935  I was busy with some crotchet work.  Ott up most of the day.  But eats little.  I wrote to Mrs Falk.The Dr here to see Ott in the evening.  He thinks he must keep quiet for a week or more.
Tuesday February 19- 1935  I busy with my work.  Ott about the same.  Rob brought Hattie over to spend the afternoon.  William & Mary got home at late bed-time.
Wednesday Febraury 20- 1935  The young folks went to Des Moines this evening taking Biddy with them.  Ott seems better.  I wrote LeGrand  Mary brought me home as soon as they came back.  Letters from Winnie & Birdie.  Spent the evening pleasantly here with Mr & Mrs Gay.  It was 90 years today that Father & Mother married at [Piketon?].
Thursday February 21- 1935  I was busy with crotchet work all day.  Mr. Gay went north again.  She at the store.  At a party in the evening.  Ott getting better slowly.  The Dr over again.
Friday February 22- 1935  I was up early.  Emma came to sew for us.  She made over a black & white silk I had got through Mrs Gay and put new sleeves in another dress.  Then did work for Helen Gay.  I finished the chair set and pressed it.  It snowed some early in the day.  Ott about the same.  keeping very quiet.
