Thursday January 23 1908
I was busy with the work all forenoon.  We were very late in getting up.  I baked bread and churned.  Will to town in afternoon.  When he came home he salted the meat.  Mollie came out to stay all night  We had such a good visit.  a cold sharp night.
Friday January 24 1908
I hurried through my work and went to town at 9.37.  I did some errands and was at Dr Smiths office.  I went over home for dinner, not coming back till 5.20.  I made a pair of pillow cases and worked on my tatting.
Saturday January 25 1908
It was so late when we got up that I did nothing but the house-work in forenoon.  Will went to town at 12.37 and I had "Nellie" hitched and went down to Woolfs for the afternoon.  It was so pleasant today.  I worked on my tatting what spare time I had.
Sunday January 26 1908
It was snowing this forenoon but we went down home for dinner  Hattie had turkey.  Ott & the boys were there.  I came home at 4 oclock did the evening work and wrote and read till bed-time.
