the day. Fannie came for me in PM and I stayed
till after supper. They brought me home. Letter from Mrs Falk.
Tuesday June 30th 1925
I was knitting on bag. Noonia away to her sisters
wedding. It is 17 years today since Rob & Cora were
married. I had letters from Lydia & Ida. Fine day.
Wednesday July 1st 1925
Emma came today to make my dress. She
finished that and made some changes in others
for both Hattie and myself. I was so glad to get it
done. Ensigns here in evening. It has turned warm.
Thursday July 2nd 1925
I knit on bead bag all forenoon. Hattie and Cora
to a luncheon. A very warm day. I wrote to Lydia,
Ida and L D L in afternoon. Evening on porch.
Friday July 3rd 1925
Still very warm. Cora not well. Hattie to luncheon
at Red Ball. She and I down town in AM. I went to
Dr Stewart. Birdie Harris came at supper time.
Saturday July 4th 1925
Was on the porch in AM working on bead bag.
Rested in PM. Ott & Fannie here for supper on
the porch. And later neighbors and friends came
to bring fire works and spend the evening. A
very pleasant day and spent delightfully. I have
been rather comfortable to enjoy it.
