Page 18

Friday October 2nd 1903
It began to rain early this morning. I put
in the entire day working on my sweater fixing
the loops and buttons. Finished it in the evening.
Saturday October 3rd 1903
I put down the sitting room carpet and did some
baking before noon. Mollie went in town in
the afternoon with Mrs Pointain. I put up tomatoes
when not hindered by storms. We had [one?] terrible
rain. Will went in after mails, &c. I was very
tired and went to bed early.
Sunday October 4th 1903
I was busy most of the forenoon with the
work. I read and wrote in afternoon. Mollie spent
the day in her room on account of bad cold.
Monday October 5th 1903
I had extra work for the forenoon. I went to
town in afternoon but did not gt started early.
I stopped at home and at Fannies. I had a
lot of errands to do and went to the Drs office.
It was late when I got home to do evening work. A fine day.
