Tuesday February 12th 1902
It was colder again today. I was busy with the
work all the forenoon and sewed in the afternoon
on night gowns for myself, knit and read in evening.
Wednesday February 12th 1902
Still cold I worked about the house all morning.
Will was down town. We went down to Mary Woolfs in
the afternoon. I knit in the evening.
Thursday February 13th 1902
Had churning and extra work in the forenoon. We
went up to Jennie Danners in the afternoon. I sewed 
a little after I came home. Mrs Koser, Mrs Pointon,
andf Ida Miller spent the evening here.
Friday February 14th 1902
Will went after Mother in the forenoon. I did sweeping
and got dinner. I finished my gowns in the afternoon.
Frank came after Mollie in the big sled and Mother
rode down with them. I wrote letters in the evening.
Saturday February 15th 1902
I did churning and washing this forenoon with Terrys help.
I got dinner and went down town where I did some
shopping and went over home awhile. Mother was in
town with Fannie but I found Hattie at home.
I did the evening work and read till bed time.
