Thursday August 6 1908
I was busy all forenoon with the regular work.  I wrote a letter to Lydia during the day.  I sewed some in the afternoon.  Will about the place most of the day.
Friday August 7 1908
I went down home with some things for Mother and got apples. I stopped at Woolfs on the way home they are about as usual.  I called at [Fochlers?] in the afternoon with Frankie [Pointoin?].  Mrs [Fochler?] died last evening.  I got supper early and Will and I went to Chautauqua.  It was very nice a big crowd there.
Saturday August 8 1908
I was busy with the baking in forenoon.  Will went to town in afternoon and I down to the grounds.  We both went in the evening driving down to Woolfs first.
Sunday August 9 1908
Was busy with the work all forenoon.  I went down to Chautauqua in the afternoon  Bishop [Bristell?] spoke it was fine.  he lectured yesterday afternoon.  We both went in the evening.  A very entertaining evening  a big crowd.  We did not wait for the car but walked home.  It was pleasant to do so.
