203 dinner in town. I came on home and got some dinner for myself and the boys and then went to cleaning up the house. Hatt and Win came over the middle of the afternoon and a little later Mollie Templin and Kate Boyer came they stayed till after supper and we had a jolly visit. While Hatt washed the supper dishes Mother and I took a walk down to Robinsons. I went to bed soon after I came home. Saturday June 23rd 1877. I helped with the work all the forenoon. I baked a couple of cakes. Aunt Lib and and Onie and Anna Anderson were here for dinner. I went with Aunt Lib to select here a new dress. I got a basket of things and brought home. Lizzie and her Mother spent the afternoon here and Daniel Fletcher and Mr Robinson were here for supper Rob and Lee were both to town after supper. I did not do much of any-thing after I came from town. I was tired and went to bed early. J.W. Lamb was here to see Rob about going to Toledo on business.
