Page 158

Friday December 28th 1906
I had a good breakfast and a visit at home
before Will came for me with the buggy. We stopped
at Woolfs and got home in time to get dinner. I
wrote to Lydia and worked and weighed butter in the
afternoon. Will churned again for me. We visited
all the evening. It was a beautiful fall day.
Saturday December 29th 1906
I was busy all day. I swept and cleaned up stairs
in the forenoon and after early dinner I baked a
cake and swept the lower story and cleaned the
kitchen up good. Will went to town in afternoon.
I wrote all the evening. weather warm and foggy.
Sunday December 30th 1906
It was raining this morning and continued to
do so till about the middle of the afternoon when
it turned to snow. I was busy with the house
work most of the forenoon and read afternoon
and evening. Will and I talked part of the day.
I do not feel so very well. I have a hurt in
my lung and am coughing some.
