Page 87

Saturday November 2 1907
I did cooking and sweeping in forenoon.  There was such a cold wind I did not attempt to go down town in the afternoon  Will went.  there was a big football game.  I sewed all afternoon and finished up my visits.  I read in evening.  We heard today that Lew Price was quite sick.
Sunday November 3 1907
I went to church in the morning and Will came down on a later car so we walked over home together.  Father was not up till dinner time.  Soon as Dr Dean comes home he will come over to see him.  Mother had a good dinner and we had a nice visit.  It was bright and cool.  I came home at 4.20 got supper and went down to Coralville church.
Monday November 4 1907
I cleaned the kitchen in the forenoon.  Will helped me change the window shades.  I got the dinner over and did quite a large washing and cleaned the garret.  Will in town after dinner.  Father is no better.  They had Dr Dean today.
Tuesday November 5 1907
I ironed in the forenoon and washed some more things  Will in town.  We went down home in the afternoon.  Father about the same.  I did mending in the evening.  a high wind and unpleasant afternoon.
