Page 145

Wednesday October 17th 1900  I feel much better this morning.  I helped with the work and did a little sewing.  I was up to Aunt Ellens in the afternoon and took Orine with me.  I sewed in the evening Leonard began to crib corn today.  Thursday October 18th 1900  We had churning and baking today.   I was busy about the house a great part of the forenoon.  I went over to Simpsons in the afternoon taking Aunt Lib with me  We spent a pleasant afternoon.  Hattie got home tonight Friday October 19th 1900  We did a little sewing in the forenoon besides the work.  Will took the butter to town.  I was up to Mrs Gregorys in the afternoon and rode back with him Henry rented the farm today to a man from Michigan I wrote to Mother in the evening.  Weather pleasant.  Saturday October 20th 1900  I went up town early taking Carrie Anderson with me. The girls were all invited to Minnie Showers where we had a very pleasant day.  I did a lot of trading and got home in very good time.  Hattie looks the best she ever has since she was married.   It is five years today since Charlie was buried.
