Page 148

Tuesday November 20th 1906
It was 22 years today since Charlie & Ida were
married. I feel some better today. I am fixing my
black sateen skirt. Fred and Mollie came out to
supper and spent the evening. It is raining a little.
Wednesday November 21st 1906
It snowed all day. I was scarcely out of the
house. Will busy most of the time taking care
of the stock. I do not feel quite so well. I did
some sewing and got the meals.
Thursday November 22nd 1906
The sun shone brightly today and melted some
of the snow. I was busy about the work and did
some sewing on carious little things that needed
fixing. Will busy about the place most of the time.
Friday November 23rd 1906
Will churned for me. I was busy all forenoon with
the regular work. We got up so late. The I had
dinner so Will went to town at 12.37. I was
fixing some mittens for Will in afternoon and
evening. It was bright today and the snow
melted some. I feel better and hope to get
down town tomorrow. I have not been out of the
yard since last Sunday afternoon.
