Wednesday February 19th 1913 It was a fine day again. I washed some more things. Afternoon and evening I worked on a collar I am making for Laura Mason. Will hauling in the wood. Thursday February 20th 1913 It was 68 years today since Father & Mother were married. I did baking in forenoon and ironing after dinner worked on Laura's collar what spare time I had. Friday February 21st 1913 I wrote to Ida Nellie & Joe Williams in the am. It stormed so I could not go to The Missionary meeting. I worked at Laura's collar and got it nearly done. Saturday February 22nd 1913 It was still storming. I was busy in the kitchen all the forenoon and did sewing for the home in afternoon and evening. Will to town in the afternoon. Sunday February 23rd 1913 It was very cold and I was busy about the house in forenoon. I wrote letters in afternoon and more in the evening and read aloud to Will. Monday February 24th 1913 I wrote one more letter in the forenoon and got Wills dinner ready to leave by 11:15. Went down to Fannies where Aunt Emms family and some others were invited for dinner. I walked up town with Ida Anderson and made some purchases getting home at 5:40. I read most of the evening.
