Page 16

Thursday June 1st 1905
I had churning this morning and berries to pick. I did a 
very little sewing. I went down town in afternoon to help 
sew on Mothers dress. Hattie was gone and we left it. We 
were down at Fannies. She is not well. It is 18 years today 
since they were married. I called at Woolfs coming home.
Friday June 2nd 1905
I did a lot of sweeping and cleaning today and picked 
berries in afternoon. I was busy the whole day and did 
accomplish a lot. Was not so very tired for I did not hurry.
Saturday June 3rd 1905
Will and I both put in a very busy forenoon and went to 
town in afternoon. I took Mother with me. We went to the 
cooking school awhile. Will and I came on home in 
good time. Was busy till nearly bed time.
Sunday June 4th 1905
I was busy all forenoon. Weather very warm. I wrote to 
Lydia, Joe Woolf, Emma Allen & Maurice Culbertson in 
afternoon. All four of my turkey eggs hatched today.
Monday June 5th 1905
I had churning and berries to pick this morning. Father & 
Mother came out. They went home at four oclock. I 
picked berries after they were gone. I got my mail
all started today. Weather still very warm.
