Page 67

Tuesday March 29th 1904
Alma brought Mother out this morning. I baked a
cake before I got the dinner. We talked all the
afternoon. It set in to rain some but they sent for
her. Will and I read all evening. Lee's birthday.
Wednesday March 30th 1904
It was a rainy ugly day. I did not feel very
well. I did the work as easy as possible and
sewed some. I read in evening and went to bed early.
Thursday March 31st 1904
weather still unpleasant. The boys are busy about
the place doing what they can. Levi came back
Tuesday morning. I am sewing and busy all the time.
Friday April 1st 1904
I had a busy day with churning, baking bread, and
to iron a few things that Will helped me wash 
yesterday morning. I got done by noon. There
was a strong wind which made it hard to
work in the kitchen. I did a lot of
mending in the afternoon. I read in the
evening and went to bed early.
