Page 40

Sunday May 15 1910  Did the regular morning work and Lizzie and I went down at 11.12 to Otts for dinner.  We went on up home awhile.  Mother was in bed and Dr [Grant?] had been over.  We had a nice visit at Otts.  I went up home again  We came out home at 4.30 in the rain  Lizzie and I visited all the evening.  Monday May 16 1908 [sic]  I did the morning work.  Lizzie went to town before noon and came back at 4.30.  I made some tatting and did mending.  Will busy about the place.  I had a letter from Alice Condon she says the folks are not coming up this summer.  I wrote to her.  Tuesday May 17 1910  Lizzie did some washing and I did baking in the forenoon.  Before going down town to stay all night Lizzie ironed part of her things.  It was late before she went so I did not try to go down home.  Mother is feeling some better.  Did the evening work and went to bed early.  Weather warmer.
