Hattie went to church and I looked after the dinner
I slept some in afternoon. Rob was up a little while.
I read in the evening finished Main Street. nice day.
Monday September 26th 1921
Was busy about home in forenoon. The Boyingtons came
up at noon to tell they had a letter from Ida and she
was coming the last of the week. I went to town in PM.
LeGrand came this morning. he took us to town.
Tuesday September 27th 1921
Hattie and I started about nine oclock to go to Des Moines
with Fannie & LeGrand. A fine ride. Reaching there at
5.30. William and Mary looking for us. Hattie and I stayed
with the Williams girls. a delightful evenings visit.
Wednesday September 28th 1921
We stayed at The Williams girls till eleven oclock.
They came for us and we rode around town till noon.
Ott had come up on a morning train and he and Blanche
Jellison met us at "Tornkers Store" to have dinner. We
started home at two oclock. Stopped for supper on the way.
Reached home by late bed-time. a fine trip.
Thursday September 29th 1921
I did some washing today. I wrote letters to both Ida
and Mrs Falk in reply to ones I found here. The girls
were gone to a luncheon. I did not get my washing done
till after noon. It rained late in the late. I rested awhile
and went to bed early. I was so very tired.
