Friday May 11th 1923 It rained all day. Jack [Sterritt?] papered my room before noon. I worked nearly all day about the house. I wrote Laura before supper time. William & Mary came this PM. Hattie in town in AM Saturday May 12th 1923 I cleaned the kitchen cup-board in the forenoon. The girls were in town both AM and PM and Cora took me over just before supper time and I rode home with Rob. I did extra washing in afternoon. It is 37 years today since Will & I were married. Sunday May 13th 1923 Rob took Hattie & I to S S and church. I went to The M E Church and Rob Cora & Hattie came there too. We had dinner at Otts. But Rob could not be there. It was pleasant but cool today. I slept late in PM Hattie & I alone in evening. I wrote to Birdie & read some. Monday May 14th 1923 The washing was done in forenoon.
