Sunday August 27th 1893
We got breakfast over and Laura and Jennie
went to church and then on over to Woolfs. Will
and I went over home and found Father and
Mother all alone. In the afternoon we went to Woolfs.
I got our suppers after I came home. Laura
came just before night. She had been out to
supper. We spent the evening at home.
Monday August 28th 1893
Will helped me with the washing this morning.
I finished that and got the dinner. In the
afternoon I scrubbed some, got the clothes in,
and made sweet apple reserves. Laura had
her supper early and went to the valley with
George Stevens. Will is digging our potatoes.
Tuesday August 29th 1893
I baked bread, cake and pie this forenoon and
did most of the ironing. Mr Fuller moved his
things in this morning. After dinner I went
over home awhile. The girls were going to their
society. I came home at five oclock to do
my evening work. wrote in the evening.
