Page 148

Saturday June 13 1908
I baked cade took care of the chickens and picked some strawberries before it began to rain at 10.30.   I had Nellie hitched to go down after Mother but put her in the barn.  Will went to town in the afternoon.  I wrote a letter to Lizzie Lindley and worked on tatting for my handkerchief.
Sunday June 14 1908
It was a cool lovely day.  I went to church and got our dinners soon as possible after coming home.  Will was about the place all afternoon talking with Art Jones about selling lots and with a man about moving our house.  I went back to The Sermon at the University at 3.12. I did not get home till 6.39.  I got our suppers and we talked till late bed-time about a new house [illegible].
Monday June 15 1908
I had a lot of work to do in forenoon.  I picked some more berries.  I drove down home in the afternoon to visit awhile with Henry Harris and wife from [Highmore?] S.D.  I stopped at Woolfs on the way home.  Did evening work.  The boys plowing corn.
