the work in time to go to church. I soon got dinner
over and Will took me a ride out east of town. It
had turned quite cold. we spent the rest of the
afternoon and evening at home.
Monday November 13th 1893
Will helped me wash and then went to
the valley. I was busy all forenoon with the
work. It was late when he got home to dinner.
I went up town a little while in the afternoon.
I sent the evening at home. weather pleasanter.
Tuesday November 14th 1893
I ironed and baked bread this forenoon. I
walked over home and did not get home till
just time to get supper. The girls were over
town. The weather is cold again. I spent the
evening at home. read a little.
Wednesday November 15th 1893
It was a very cold windy day. I was busy
about the house most of the forenoon. Mrs Bivens
called. Fanny was here to say good-bye as she
goes home for a visit. I went to the Aid society
in the afternoon and to a lecture with Mrs
Bivens after that. Spent the evening at home.
