Tuesday June 28 1910 I had bread-baking this morning and put things to rights up stairs. Ray Billingsley came out at 11.39 and I went down home with him for dinner. I had a letter from Lydia and wrote she & Harry about the folks coming out. I came home at 3.30 very tired. Weather hot. Wednesday June 29 1910 I did a bit washing in the forenoon and in the afternoon did mending and sewed on my curtains. Will painting at the fence the sun frightfully hot. Thursday June 30 1910 It was two years today since Rob & Cora were married. They go to Minneapolis tomorrow for a vacation I did the morning work and fixed some carpet curtains for the back porch. Will to town for more paint. Friday July 1 1910 I ironed and baked both cake and cookies before noon. Will churned for me some after dinner. He then went to town. I changed the feathers in a pair of pillows It was so warm we had cold supper and brought things down stairs to fix beds to sleep
