Sunday July 20th 1879 i did not feel equal to going to church this morning and put on my hat and duster to go down to Robinsons. I staid down there till nearly noon. After I helped though with the dinner I went to sleep. After supper I read a little. Monday July 21st 1879 We got the things out of Robs room this morning and him and I went to town for paper for it and the parlor bedroom. It was nearly noon before we got home and I was very warm. We got his room papered and things back in before five oclock. We had a hard shower at supper time. I sewed all the evening on my tidy. Tuesday July 22nd 1879 We papered and cleaned the parlor bed room today and got it all done by three oclock. We then took the carpet out of the parlor and changed a couple of the seams. I went to town after supper and got [course?] and yarn to make fancy [lombargerins?] for up stairs. I was too tired to do any thing at night but go to bed.
