Will came at 7.12 and we had supper and visited with the folks.  Home at 9.30 with Lizzie Duncan about for visit  Monday June 20 1910  Will & I went to town at 9.30.  I was at Dr Smiths office and got things I needed coming home at 11.30  Will waited to see the show [illegible] and did not come for an hour.  I fixed things for supper.  Mother, By & Millie came at 3.39.  We went then in the buggy and took them back at 7.12.  Lizzie & Earl Custer & wife came then and stayed till the 10.12.  Tuesday June 21 1910  I was at home and busy all day with the house work and fixing some curtains.  Mr Ed Brown came for Lizzie and she did not get home till after dark.  By & Millie went east this afternoon.  The boys [to?] come to work again today.  They finished the picket fence and tore down the old one.  Weather very warm.
