Friday November 13th 1885 I ironed my shirts in the morning and wrote a letter while Mother was gone to town. I went to town some after dinner I paid some bills and got me a pair of blankets and a spread for my bed. I stopped to have a little work done on my teeth. Ott, Mr Harris, and I were over to Clutes for supper and to spend the evening. We had a very pleasant time indeed. Saturday November 14th 1885 Mother and I were both busy about the work all the forenoon. She went to town in the afternoon and I did some sewing and ironing while she was gone. Mrs Keeler called in the afternoon. I worked all the evening. Sunday November 15th 1885 I went to church in the forenoon. I like the new minister (Rev Brindell) very much. Hatt and Edith went with me and Edith come on home with me before dinner. The rest of the folks were over all the afternoon. I read all evening. Monday November 16th 1885 It was lovely morning. I took an early start and walked to the cemetery with flowers for Robs grave. It was privilege to be there alone. I came from there to Mrs Moores. Hatt came up for dinner. I did not leave there till four oclock and came on the the dentists to have my teeth fixed a little. I was working all day and evening on a lambrequin I am making for the bay window.
