Wednesday April 28th 1920
The girls went back to the garret. It was bright enough
that Hattie put a lot of things on the line. I carried
some things down to burn in the furnace. I washed out a
lot of things in the afternoon. Cora to town after supper.
Thursday April 29th 1920
We all hurried around to clean up the house. I put
my rooms in order. Mildred McCallister and her
Mother were up to spend the day. Hattie had such a nice
dinner. It rained in afternoon. Fannie up awhile. Hattie out
to supper. Cora back with Rob. I did some ironing. Wrote Ida today.
Friday April 30th 1920
I did some sewing in the forenoon and began a letter
to Lydia that I finished in the afternoon. Hattie went to town
in the afternoon. Cora was at home sick. I read in evening.
Saturday May 1st 1920
A nice day. I did my washing and some things from the
garret for Hattie. She got the dinner and went to town in
afternoon to help with rummage sale for Old Ladies Home.
Cora not well, but got up for the evening.
Sunday May 2nd 1920
The Whetstones took William to Marengo to get the Auto
he left up there a week ago. I did up my work and
walked out to Hedges for dinner. Had a good visit.
I had just started home when the folks came along so I
rode with them. Went down to Otts a little while. Hattie
to town after supper. Rob & Cora away too. I read awhile.
Mr & Mrs Hines went away today.
