Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1929-December 31, 1930

Page 116

Sunday July 27th 1930
Still hot. I felt able to put the house in order
and wrote Sister Ida & Lois Simpson. I slept some
after dinner. Mary came for me at 4.30. We took
a ride after supper. Ila brought me home. We went up to
Whetstones awhile. The heat is unbearable.
Monday July 28th 1930
A slight rain made it a bit cooler. I did a
little washing and slept some both before and
after dinner. Rob took me home with him at
supper time. Hattie & I alone on the porch after
supper. She and Cora brought me home at 9.30.
Tuesday July 29th 1930
Quite cool. I did ironing, wrote LeGrand and
did up a book to send him. Mary took me to
Dr Urban. She came for me. I went home with
her till 5 oclock. Read on the porch. Went to bed early.
Wednesday July 30th 1930
I slept well last night. Hattie here a moment
with rags to finish her rug. I did some pressing.
A letter from Laura tells Lydia is very low. I wrote
her. I did some telephoning. William took me over
there for the evening. Hattie & Cora there too.
Thursday July 31st 1930
Wrote Alice Condon & Cousin Jen. I spent the day at
Hatties with The Shultz family. Such a good time.
Rob brought me home. Stopped to see about teeth. The
Byingtons took me over there for the evening. No mail.
