Wednesday August 16th 1905 I did a big washing this morning with Billys help. Will went down town in afternoon and I went as far as Woolfs to spend the afternoon. I got a nice lot of apples. Thursday August 17th 1905 I did the ironing and baked bread before noon. I went down to Fannies that afternoon to visit with Aunt Emmas family. I am sneezing today and have taken cold in some way. I did evening work went to bed early. Friday August 18th 1905 I did sweeping and baking, dressed chickens, and got the dinner. Will went to town in afternoon and I went down home to spend the afternoon with Aunt Emmas family. I feel better today. We came home to do evening work. Saturday August 19th 1905 Aunt Emma and the girls with Mother came out on the ten oclock car. We met then with the buggy so part rode up. I had a letter from Laura Mason and Sister Joe this morning. They both want me to come to the fair with Will. We had a most delightful days visit. Fannie & Hattie were out in the afternoon. Will went to town in the afternoon.
