Thursday June 17th 1880 I ironed this morning and began to make a flag that I finished about four oclock and after that time did a little washing and washed the front porch before night. Minnie Owens came this afternoon. Friday June 18th 1880 I worked all the forenoon doing baking. We expected John Helmick and sister at noon and Hatt went over to the depot for them. When they came back Rob and I went out to Oasis to meet Ray Billingsley and Miss Harford. We got home fast as supper was ready and in the evening we all went to the anniversary of the societies. Very entertaining. Saturday June 19th 1880 Hatt, Ott, John and sister went in the country for more cherries. I helped do the work till after dinner. I was over town and went with Rob to hear Chancelor Hammonds last lecture to the class. I was out to Holsons a little while. Weather quite pleasant.
