Will and went early this morning out to
see Mr Adys place with the view of renting
it. We were delighted with the place and
spent a pleasant forenoon. I helped
Josie through with the dinner and then us
girls both went over the river. I walked back.
Josie went home this afternoon for a few days.

I was busy about the work all forenoon as I
had it all to do and got a late start. Us
girls went over to help Hattie sew and I got
more strawberries. I rode both ways with Fanny.
Saturday June 17th 1893
I was bust all forenoon doing baking and other
work. Will had been over home hoeing our
potatoes and he brought "Pet" over for me to
ride back. Father came over to dinner. We did
some more sewing, picked the berries, and rode
home with Fanny. I went up town after supper.
Sunday June 18th 1893
Will and I went over home and stayed till after
dinner. They had turkey. Ott & Fanny spent the
afternoon there but we went on out to Marys.
They got back for supper and we all spent the
evening on the porch. The two last days have been very hot.
