Page 138

Tuesday November 8th 1921
I was sewing what spare time I had. Was down to
Fannies in the morning. We were all invited to Gibbs
for supper. We spent a pleasant evening. Rained in PM.
Wednesday November 9th 1921
I helped the girls some with the washing. Rob came
about 2.30 and Hattie and I rode to town with him. She
went to a meeting and I did errands. I rode home
with Rob. We all went to see "May Robson" in "It pays to
Smile." We included Ott & Fannie when we got the tickets.
It was fine. Letters from Lydia, Nellie, and May.
Thursday November 10th 1921
I was sewing most of the day. The girls ironed some.
Cora in town. They were both away in afternoon.
It rained some. I wrote to May before supper.
Friday November 11th 1921
I was sewing some and The girls busy with their
own affairs. Gertrude Newcomb Thompson spent the
evening here. Weather unpleasant. Armistice Day.
Saturday November 12th 1921
I sewed a little. Gertrude came for dinner. Soon
after we went to a picture show. I went to the depot
for information. Got a suit case. All had supper with Mr & Mrs Thompson.
Sunday November 13th 1921
Cora not well today. I was busy with my own affairs
all day. Gertrude stayed here last night. Hattie at S S
and church. Oh the sadness of thirty-five months ago today.
