Page 118

Sunday February 23 1908
I was busy with the work and wrote a little.  Will helped me do up the dinner work and I took the butter for the home folks and went on the car to Woolfs.  Tishie & her family were there.  Will seemed a trifle better.  I went on over home where I found all the Stevens family.  After supper Hattie & I went to town with Rob.  Will was at the store & he & John sent to church with us girls.  Home at 9.20.
Monday February 24 1908
It was a nice day  I had my washing out by eleven oclock and by the time dinner was over and work done up they were dry.  I rested awhile and had ironing done by five oclock.  I read in the evening.
Tuesday February 25 1908
It snowed and blowed today.  I got a little time to sew in afternoon.  I took the white waist apart that Lorna embroidered for me and [illegible] and cut [illegible] back.  I read in evening. The boys busy about the place.
Wednesday February 26 1908
I hurried through with the work and went to town at 9.37  I was a Dr Smiths office and at Otts  did a few errands before going over the river.  Stopped at Fannies.
