Sunday July 18th 1880 I went to Sunday school this morning but did not stay to church. I helped get the dinner over when I came home and in the afternoon visited with Lizzie Lindley, Nell Custor and Winnie who were here till after supper. Mother and Rob were riding in the afternoon. I read all the evening. Monday July 19th 1880 I worked all day cutting out work of muslin and making a few more carpet rags. Was very tired tonight. Tuesday July 20th 1880 I did a large washing and a part of the ironing and practiced two hours before we girls went to Fletchers at four oclock to visit with the Robinson girls who were all there. We had a splendid time. I practiced a little in the evening after we came home. The men are doing splendidly with the house.
