Page 136

Monday November 10th 1930 
I washed curtains and did cleaning in AM. Letter 
from Ida. I wrote Frankie Pointain. I rested awhile 
after dinner. Then ironed curtains and put them up. 
Wrote Mattie Fletcher and read in the evening. 
Tuesday November 11th 1930 
This is Armistice day. Twelve years ago I was sick 
out at Sister Idas. I washed curtains in AM and 
wrote Mrs Falk. Went to a picture show with 
Hattie in PM. Ironed curtains later and put them up. 
Wednesday November 12th 1930 
William came and we left for Des Moines at 8:30. 
A fine ride. Reached there at noon. Had lunch 
and engaged rooms at "The Brown". Then he took me 
out to Mrs. Wilsons. We had supper at The Hotel and 
went to a picture show. A beautiful day. 
Thursday November 13th 1930 
William took me up to the Williams Girls. I did not 
get back till after three o'clock. We left for home at 
five. Had supper in Marengo. Found letters here from 
Laura and Winnie. A most delightful trip. 
Friday November 14th 1930 
I wrote Laura & Winnie. Went up town and it was 
nearly noon when I got back. Ott & Will Bremner called. 
I wrote Mabel McDougall. Will Bremier came at 
three oclock to take us over to Otts. Mary & Emily at a 
party. Mr & Mrs Moore came from Minneapolis. After 
supper William brought Hattie & me home.
