Saturday May 20th 1905 I was busy all morning with the work and we did quite a lot of visiting. Mollie was down at Coralville awhile. We went downtown in the afternoon. I got a set of gold beads to send to Edith Mason and a new couch for the sitting room. We came home in time to do the chores. Will finished planting corn today and went to town in the evening. A pleasant day. Sunday May 21st 1905 I put in the day with the necessary work and visiting with Mollie. She went home on the 3.30 and just then Otts folks came out and stayed till chore time. Did the evening work and looked after little chickens. a nice day. Monday May 22nd 1905 I cleaned closets and put things away in the forenoon. Was busy with other work about the house all afternoon. The boys busy about the place. Was tired went to bed early. Will brought my new lounge here this afternoon. Tuesday May 23rd 1905 I hurried with my work and was all done before ten oclock when Nell Swisher, Fannie Graham, & Gladys came. Mr Robinson was out for dinner. Hattie came at one oclock. We had such a nice day. The weather was perfect. The girls went at 3.30 and Hattie at 5 oclock. We went down to the depot with her. Did evening work, read a little and went to bed.
