Page 240

Friday December 27th 1901
I was busy all forenoon with churning and
cake baking, had dinner early and went down
to Woolfs to spend the afternoon. Will to town.
Saturday December 28th 1901
I spent the forenoon as usual and went to town
in the afternoon. I went up to see the Dr and
got something for my head. I walked over the
river and waited for Will to come for me.
Sunday December 29th 1901
Will and I at home alone all day. I read all
the time when not busy with the work. It is
fine winter weather.
Monday December 30th 1901
I had churning done and was busy about the 
house all morning. Dell went to the timber to 
cut wood. Will and I went to town in the
afternoon. I walked over home to wait for Will.
Read in evening.
Tuesday December 31st 1901
I was busy sewing fixing my black dress when
not busy with the work. Will went to the timber
for a load of wood in the afternoon. Dell up
there chopping. So ends 1901 A year ago Pas Lee
was alive and far from home with Father & Mother.
