Saturday June 12th 1909 I washed in the forenoon and got a nice dinner by noon so Will went to town at 12.12 I went down home at 3.12 for a call. Ray walked to town with me. I came home at 5.12 got supper and had ironing done by nine oclock. Sunday June 13th 1909 I got up early for I had some baking and work to do I had left yesterday I was at work till after two oclock. I rested and read some before Ott & Fannie brought Ray & Millie out at four oclock. Hattie came an hour later. Ott and Fannie went back but the rest stayed for supper going home at 8.12.
