Sunday November 4th 1923
There was no good way to ride so I did not go to 
church. William and Mary went home at noon I

It was a fine day. Hattie went to town in forenoon.
I could not work on my bag for the loss of the
needle. I sewed some, but worked at that in evening.

Fannie had a luncheon today. The girls were down
there. I sewed some and did a lot on my bag.

The girls both away in afternoon. I was busy with
the outside work of house cleaning in afternoon.

All of us at the house cleaning. Cora in her
rooms after the closet had been built in Robs room.

at it all afternoon. I got mine all done. Hattie
