Monday May 23 1910  We were both busy with the regular work all forenoon  After dinner Will took me down home.  I spent the time with Mother till four oclock went to town did some errands and came home at 5.30.  Got supper and did evening work.  A letter from Ann Hensler of Chicago.  Ott & Fannie to Chicago tonight  Tuesday May 21 1910  I washed in the forenoon but Will went down town to see a small show [illegible].  Mother was over town a little while.  Will went to Frank Kiles funeral in the afternoon.  I did the ironing.  Very windy today.  Wednesday May 24 1910.  Soon as I got my morning work done I went to work in the garden taking the weeds out of the strawberry bed.  Will did some hoeing.  I wrote Lizzie Lindley and forwarded mail to her.  Will helped Art Jones replant corn in the afternoon  I worked in the garden.  After supper we wired all the little chickens into the chicken house.  Cora Clark and Bob Clark were married tonight. Mr & Mrs [Bremer?] are celebrating their golden wedding today.
