Page 53

Friday November 18th 1904
It was a fine day. I helped Will put the
chickens in coops. was busy about the place all
morning. Will got home at noon. My chickens all
told brought $39.55. I wrote to Joe Woolf in afternoon.
Saturday November 19th 1904
I was busy with the work all forenoon. We had
dinner early. Went down town in afternoon. I got
new rope [partaines?] for the sitting room
and some other shopping. was over home awhile.
We came home early. I spent the evening at
Mrs Kosers. a very very pleasant day.
Sunday November 20th 1904
It was late when we got up so I was busy all
forenoon. we had dinner in good time and we
drove down to Otts to visit with Henry Hart.
Father and Mother were there too. I did some
writing after I got home. weather cooler but
no rain yet. It was 20 years today since Charlie and
Ida were married.
