Page 192

Tuesday May 21st 1901
was busy all morning, got dinner pretty early. Ida
and I went to town in the afternoon to do some 
trading and as the McGovern girls were spending
the day up home I stopped there awhile.
Wednesday May 22nd 1901
I sewed all day and made Ida a dress skirt
she went down town in the afternoon to get some
work done on her teeth. Will is through planting corn.
Thursday May 23rd 1901
There was a little rain last night and Will
hoed the garden before we started to the valley
We took Mother with us down to Nelsons and had
such a pleasant day of it. It seems good to
get down with the valley folks again.
Friday May 24th 1901
Will went to town in the forenoon and then went
back again in the afternoon he saw Conroy and
got ten dollars for keeping his horse that he gave to me.
I went calling among the neighbors in the afternoon.
Saturday May 25th 1901
I was busy in the forenoon and in the afternoon
went down and took Mother to town and we got her
a dress and went to the rummage sale by the ladies of the church.
