Page 76

Saturday January 1st 1921
Hattie and I were both down to Fannies a little
while in the forenoon. Aunt Emma called and invited us
to dinner with her family. We called a taxi to take us.
We sent a pleasant day and the dinner was fine.
We rode down town on the car and walked over home. It
has turned much colder. I wrote Lydia & Stella in evening.
Sunday January 2nd 1921
It was a fine day. Hattie walked to S S and church. I was
busy getting things ready to pack and cleaned up my room.
Hattie was down at Otts after dinner. I went later and called
at Dunlaps on my way home. I read most of the evening. Ott
got home this morning and Rob & Cora tonight by way of Cedar Rapids.
Monday January 3rd 1921
I was busy most of the day with my packing. Cora
was at the store. I went down to Fannies just before
night. I read aloud to Hattie most of the evening.
Wednesday January 5th 1921
I went down in "the City." Got my dinner and wrote to Hattie.
Later Josephine and I took a car ride to the limits of Peoria.
Stella came to the station with me when I left for Delavan
at 5.20. The folks had a taxi meet me. I had some supper
and visited with the family till bed-time, not very tired.
Mothers birthday & 6 years today Hattie and I started to Florida.
